It doesn't touch anything else, and would only affect thinkpad users who actually try and use it (modprobe thinkpad or use tpctl). [root@bgmilne-thinkpad root]# lsmod |grep thinkpad [root@bgmilne-thinkpad root]# tpctl --rs1 --rs2 resource state: ioaddr irq# able? mode/power serial port 1: 0x3f8 IRQ4 enable on serial port 2: 0x0 IRQ0 disable [root@bgmilne-thinkpad root]# lsmod |grep thinkpad thinkpadpm 3384 0 (autoclean) thinkpad 2536 0 (autoclean) [thinkpadpm superio] My thinkpad has been running with it on 2.4.19-16mdk and now 2.4.19-24mdk, both with no problems. I haven't tried acpi on this machine yet, but if you can integrate the thinkpad driver into the kernel for rc1, I probably need to test the winbind setup anyway, and will use the laptop, so can test the thinkpad driver and try acpi on it. There is just the issue of perms to /dev/thinkpad/*, which I tried to solve in this package with /etc/devfs/conf.d/thinkpad (doesn't work): [bgmilne@bgmilne-thinkpad bgmilne]$ cat /etc/devfs/conf.d/thinkpad REGISTER ^thinkpad/.*$ PERMISSIONS root.thinkpad 0664 but /etc/secuity/console.perms may be better (no need for specific group)? Anyone wanting to change settings will need write permissions on /dev/thinkpad/*. Maybe: <thinkpad>=/dev/thinkpad/* <console> 0600 <thinkpad> 0600 root Buchan -- |--------------Another happy Mandrake Club member--------------| Buchan Milne Mechanical Engineer, Network Manager Cellphone * Work +27 82 472 2231 * +27 21 8828820x121 Stellenbosch Automotive Engineering http://www.cae.co.za GPG Key http://ranger.dnsalias.com/bgmilne.asc 1024D/60D204A7 2919 E232 5610 A038 87B1 72D6 AC92 BA50 60D2 04A7
