Thanks.  That means I can just junk that event.  I wonder why it exists
at all, though.

My Edge 13" had a BIOS setting to make the top row of keys act like
"Legacy" function keys.  The factory-default was to have those keys
control brightness, volume, multimedia play/pause/etc., and other
functions, and to have the "Fn" key (bottom left) plus the key
generate the F-key events.  I flipped the BIOS setting and the
function keys worked fine in Fedora 13 + 14.

I know the 13" model is significantly different than the larger ones,
but just in case this helps I thought I'd mention it.

If thinkpad-acpi doesn't load at all, the thinkpad operates in "OS is
dumb" mode, and _some_ of the keys will generate ACPI events or try to
do something on their own.

blacklist thinkpad-acpi.

Well, check your distro userspace, then.  But you might have to "undo" the
BIOS hack as well.

Note that only very _few_ Fn hotkeys will do anything without the help of
thinkpad-acpi *AND* your distro userspace on a Lenovo ThinkPad.

L Series

Hey,

I have purchased an L Series (L412) I would know if there is planned
to support these thinkpad models in the near future.
I'm determined to help in all that I can.

Thank's,

video (crt) status inconsistency

Hi,

I attached a VGA monitor to my ThinkPad R50e.  Xrandr seems to work well
under Linux 2.6.38-rc6, the Intel DRM driver does what I want, for
example:

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1848, maximum 2048 x 2048
LVDS1 connected 1024x768+0+1080 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
   1024x768       60.0*+   85.0     75.0     70.1     60.0*    43.5  
[...]
VGA1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm
   1920x1080      60.0*+
[...]

at the same time, however, /proc/acpi/ibm/video indicates that only the
lcd (LVDS1) output is active:

$ cat /proc/acpi/ibm/video
status:		supported
lcd:		enabled
crt:		disabled
dvi:		disabled
auto:		disabled
commands:	lcd_enable, lcd_disable
commands:	crt_enable, crt_disable
commands:	dvi_enable, dvi_disable
commands:	auto_enable, auto_disable
commands:	video_switch, expand_toggle

Or maybe I misunderstand something, but definitely both outputs are
enabled and actively used under X.

Clarifications on the matter welcome; my aim is to configure the video
switch hotkey (Fn+F7) properly.

Thanks,
Feri.
