Hi,

These should be wiki pages. Like the thinkpad wiki has for Linux. I'll
go add pages for the T42, T60, T400 and X230 if you add yours.


So:

* iwn ; yeah, its crap. nothing I can do about that.
* volume controls - we need to teach the acpi_ibm and/or keyboard
driver about them. For example, they plain do nothingon the X230 I
have. The T60 - it adjusts the global mixer. The T400 - it adjusts the
current app volume (eg, when in vlc it adjusts vlc.) It isn't
consistent or useful.
* the brightness keys - is this occuring because you have acpi_ibm
loaded? I have a feeling the root problem there is again to do with
the ACPI DSDT and acpi_ibm / acpi_video adjusting the wrong bits. My
T400 suffers the same. Can you install the acpi_call package and
search the archives for the posts that say what to do?
* .. and when you create the wiki page for your laptop, would you
please upload the acpi dump? (acpidump -dt > /tmp/blah.txt) That way
we can see what parts of the tree(s) it's attaching things to.
* same with devinfo -v

Thanks,
