Hello, and apologies in advance if this is a dumb question.

The thinkpad-acpi README[1] refers to the /proc/acpi/ibm/dock file.

This file does not appear on my ThinkPad X61 with Ubuntu 8.10
installed and upgraded to Jaunty (4 March 2009).

There is, however, a /sys/devices/platform/dock.0 directory with the
following
files:

$ ls -al /sys/devices/platform/dock.0
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root    0 2009-03-05 14:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root    0 2009-03-05 13:26 ..
-r--r--r--  1 root root 4096 2009-03-05 14:26 docked
-r--r--r--  1 root root 4096 2009-03-05 13:51 flags
-r--r--r--  1 root root 4096 2009-03-05 13:51 modalias
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    0 2009-03-05 13:51 power
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    0 2009-03-05 13:26 subsystem ->
../../../bus/platform
-r--r--r--  1 root root 4096 2009-03-05 13:51 type
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 4096 2009-03-05 14:25 uevent
-r--r--r--  1 root root 4096 2009-03-05 13:51 uid
--w-------  1 root root 4096 2009-03-05 13:51 undock

Does this mean that /proc/acpi/ibm/dock has been replaced by the above?
