Thinkpad-acpi?Thinkpad-acpi?Posted May 3, 2007 11:25 UTC (Thu) by pointwood (guest, #2814)Parent article: Merged (and to be merged) for 2.6.22
"# The old "ibm_acpi" module has been renamed "thinkpad-acpi," and it features improved support for those laptops."
Is there more info about this somewhere?

Thinkpad-acpi? Posted May 3, 2007 12:30 UTC (Thu) by nowster (subscriber, #67) [Link] You might want to read the archive of the ibm-acpi mailing list: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.acpi.ibm-acpi.devel
Thinkpad-acpi? Posted May 3, 2007 17:14 UTC (Thu) by hmh (subscriber, #3838) [Link] I heavily suggest a visit to ThinkWiki and the archive for the linux-thinkpad mailinglist, the two major sources of information on ThinkPad Linux support. Anyway, there is nothing breath-taking in thinkpad-acpi for 2.6.22, the mass of new features merge happened in 2.6.21. 2.6.22 thinkpad-acpi will feature a hwmon-compatible interface for the temperatures and fan control, though. There is also a rename of the backlight device to "thinkpad_screen" and some other assorted minor stuff.
