Greetings,
I have a T23 which I'm anxious to get the assorted buttons and suspend
modes working on. I noted in the ibm-acpi README that it has been
tested on many of the newer models, but not yet the T23. I'm happy to
be a guinea pig, but before doing so just wanted to do dilligence to the
warning indicating that ..."IT MAY NOT WORK ON YOUR THINKPAD. IT MAY
EVEN DAMAGE IT." Is there any known reason why it would be a bad thing
to try on the T23?
Also, I've been trying to find something definitive about whether ACPI
or APM is the way to go on the T23. It's not a recent model, but not
all that old either. I'm looking for the solution which enables as
much native thinkpad functionality as possible, but haven't found any
solid references as to what's best suited to the T23. I'm using
standard ACPI on Fedora Core 2 right now, but only seem to be able to
get suspend to memory working, and none of the buttons ('echo 3 >
/proc/acpi/sleep' isn't as nice as hitting a button).
Thanks in advance!
Chris
