On my Thinkpad X61, I have lots of problems on 2.6.26.1 when toggling
rfkill switches and buttons, including kernel crashes, so I'm trying
out 2.6.27-rc3. Rfkill seems much better behaved, but Network-manager
is not very happy with it and no longer notices when the radio is
killed.
I think this i

Hi,
I upgraded to 2.6.26.1 and my X61 backlight (which has never really
worked right) gave me more troubles than usual, so I started to try to
track things down a little more, and found a mess that I'd like some
help sorting out.
I think most of these are userspace issues but I think the kernel i

Hi all,
Sorry to revive an old topic from 3-4 weeks ago, but I just got my X61
this past week and so I missed my chance to chime in. And, as far as
I can tell, Ben ended with "I'm pretty lost by now". Was a decent
solution ever found? If not, where can I code to help? :)
