For the brightness stuff?  Well, if you can describe how well it worked (or
didn't work), it could help.  But on a X200, thinkpad-acpi doesn't (by
default) control brightness, as it is supposed to be done by the standard
ACPI video driver and X.org.  You can force thinkpad-acpi to do it, though
(refer to the documentation).

For the rest of the stuff in the driver? It is always nice to get reports,
yes.  Especially if things are not working well, as I am _entirely_
dependent on user help to fix problems that don't show up on a T43.

Well, I haven't had the time to update the site for a while now, but all
email sent about it is filed, and I will eventually get to move the site to
a format that is easier for me to update.
