Well, it is usafe because you don't someone shadow-unmuting your mic and keeping that LED on. You can compile the kernel with unsafe leds enabled if you want. I never tracked down all new leds, and lenovo started using some in different ways. if it is supported perfectly by /proc/acpi/ibm/led, adding it to the driver is really trivial. But I'd appreciate a list of the thinkpads that have this LED, and reports that they all work well. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
