Hi-
I was having this discussion on the fedora forum, but I thought I throw
it out to an IBM specific list. I was running ACPI and had installed
the ibm-acpi drivers from sourceforge. Follow the directions in the
niemueller walkthrough
<http://www.niemueller.de/wiki/index.php?ThinkpadT41pWithFC3> I was
trying to enable my hotkeys (Fn+Fx) to no avail. I then disabled acpi
in my grub.conf and the hotkeys work, but I now see the APM daemon
booting rather than ACPI. I was under the impression that ACPI was
superior to APM (I don't know though) and was just wondering how
everyone else has handled the hotkey issue on their thinkpads. I am
running Fedora Core 4 with kernel 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4.
Thanks, Andrew
