(Except the expected things) This is a bit of an "Me, too", but I have not seen a report on a T30, so: > sysctl hw.acpi.ibm hw.acpi.ibm.initialmask: 2060 hw.acpi.ibm.availmask: 2252 hw.acpi.ibm.events: 0 hw.acpi.ibm.eventmask: 2060 hw.acpi.ibm.hotkey: 288 hw.acpi.ibm.lcd_brightness: 7 hw.acpi.ibm.volume: 9 hw.acpi.ibm.mute: 0 hw.acpi.ibm.thinklight: 0 hw.acpi.ibm.bluetooth: 0 hw.acpi.ibm.wlan: 0 hw.acpi.ibm.fan_rpm: 3738 hw.acpi.ibm.fan_status: 1 hw.acpi.ibm.thermal: 48 49 50 -1 32 31 26 28 I'm still trying to track down which thermal is which. Volume, lcd_brightness, mute, thinklight, fan_rpm, fan_status and thermal all work. As generally reported, wlan is non-functional. I think that this is simply that the FreeBSD wireless drivers don't have code to turn off the radio. I suspect that the BIOS is doing the right thing and FreeBSD is not (yet). > In any case: Please send me your DSDT for further improvement of the driver > > (even if you run FreeBSD 5): > # acpidump -t -d > name-system.asl http://home.comcast.net/~k.oberman/FreeBSD/T30.asl Thanks for doing all of this work.
