All,

I am trying to install tpctl on a 600x running FC3 T3. The make and 
install seems to go correctly.


The /dev/thinkpad was created with:

       mkdir --mode=755 /dev/thinkpad
        mknod --mode=664 /dev/thinkpad/thinkpad c 10 170
 
    (btw make device did not seem to work)

[root@localhost tpctl-4.15]# ls -altr /dev/thinkpad/thinkpad
crw-rw-r--  1 root root 10, 170 Oct 20 12:02 /dev/thinkpad/thinkpad
[root@localhost tpctl-4.15]# ls -altr /dev/thinkpad/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  10 root root    4240 Oct 20 12:02 ..
crw-rw-r--   1 root root 10, 170 Oct 20 12:02 thinkpad
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root      60 Oct 20 12:02 .

#tpctl --all

[root@localhost tpctl-4.15]# tpctl --all
tpctl: System error message is: No such device
tpctl: Can't open device file /dev/thinkpad/thinkpad with flags 
O_RDONLY.  Exiting.

Thanks,
Dan
