It does sometimes. It certainly did when I ran out of battery while using Windows, and if i'm not mistaken, it already did using Arch Linux some times in the past. The last few times it didn't. My volume settings aren't muted. So I'd have to check what enables or disables that feature. I'm using a T410. The ThinkLight LED isn't a standard status-LED, it's a lamp that illuminates your keyboard. So the following bash script is quite useful for alarms, as I won't notice a simple message in the notification bar. [danilo@t410 ~]$ cat /usr/local/bin/thinklight #!/bin/bash if [ -z $1 ]; then echo 'Argument missing [on|off|blink]' exit 1 elif [ $1 = 'blink' ]; then echo 'on' > /proc/acpi/ibm/light && sleep 1 echo 'off' > /proc/acpi/ibm/light && sleep 1 elif [ $1 = 'on' ]; then echo 'on' > /proc/acpi/ibm/light elif [ $1 = 'off' ]; then echo 'off' > /proc/acpi/ibm/light fi You need the correct permissions on /proc/acpi/ibm/light for this to work. I set them in my /etc/rc.local (hope that's the right place, I didn't test it yet). Cheers Danilo
