Hi,
It's been a couple of months and ibm-acpi was getting stale.
Especially with module parameters not working in 2.6.10, it was really
starting to stink up was the house... :-). So there you go, an update:
This is the 10th - oh let's call it beta - release of my ACPI driver
for IBM Thinkpad laptops. The features currently supported are:
- Fn key combinations
- Bluetooth enable and disable
- video output switching, expansion control
- ThinkLight on and off
- limited docking and undocking
- UltraBay eject
- CMOS control
- LED control
- ACPI sounds
- Experimental: temperatures and fan speed
- Experimental: embedded controller register dump
Changes since 0.8 (the version included in 2.6.10):
- support for the 570, R30 and R31
- ultrabay support for the A22p and A3x
- drop experimental status from cmos, led and beep functions
- fix module parameter passing
- modified blank.sh should work with X on Debian and Fedora
- default radio.sh script uses ipw2100 RF kill switch
- default blank and hibernate events use the swsusp2 hibernate.sh
- experimental temperatures and fan speed
- experimental embedded controller register dump
The major new experimental feature is the temperature and fan speed
display. Some models (T and X series, maybe others) can show several
temperature readings (in addition to CPU temperature) and the current
fan speed. Three models (X31, X40 and 570) can control the fan speed
to a certain degree. See the README for the full details.
I still have a few things in my backlog, namely support for the 240,
600e, 770x and G41. Coming soon, I just needed to get something out
the door (I've been sitting on the 0.10 stuff for a while...).
