The correct way to load thinkpad-acpi by default is thinkpad_acpi
experimental=1 (if you want experimental features).

Hotkeys are enabled by default, and with a proper default mask in any
non-ancient thinkpad-acpi version.  Messing with that by default is *not*
nice.

In fact, mask 0xff is bad for just about *every* thinkpad, in all
current userspace configs.  Ubuntu's hacked HAL avoid *some* of the problems
that 0xff causes, but not all of them, and not for all applications.

And I have a patch queued for thinkpad-acpi which will bitch about anyone
setting masks 0x, 0xff and 0xf.

 appears nobody is paying them any attention. Here is to hopping some
 one will get this fix in there too.

Join the club.  As far as I know no one is paying attention to
e2fsprogs on Ubuntu except for me, and there are a lot of users asking
for help with very basic problems on their launchpad site.  Very often
the bugs end up in other Ubuntu packages (for example, people
complaining that fsck isn't deferring boot-time checks when running on
battery, which turns out to be because the kernel is building the acpi
ac_adaptor driver as a module, and it isn't getting loaded at boot
time; I transferred the bug over to the kernel folks and/or the
initscripts over 12-18 months ago, and no one is paying attention), or
a number of very clearly hardware or kernel problems that no one from
any other distribution is complaining about.

I'm getting really fed up, and will probably stop providing free
customer support for them, and am seriously thinking about switching
to another distribution on my personal laptop.  I just haven't figured
out which I'm going to switch to

 My bad. This appears to be a problem with Ubuntu only. Which probably
 means they are setting the mask for thinkpad-acpi in someway that is
 interfering. I just tried Fedora Core 8 and it works under it.

Always file a bug on Ubuntu if it ever causes problem with thinkpad-acpi.
Otherwise, they keep giving *me* trouble over it telling me everything is
fine, when it, in fact, isn't.

If we find out that there is a bug in thinkpad-acpi, that's not a problem. I
will happily acknowledge it, and fix it.  But we need to make sure Ubuntu
does know everything is not roses with their setup.

2008-02-20 Thread Jerone Young
Are you using the same bios version. I am also trying this with bios
2.10 on two diffrent T61 and when I run acpi_listen I don't see
anything with FN+F5 anymore .. which older bios version less then 2.09
it worked as you are reporting.
