I have a new Thinkpad A21m. I'm running testing on it, with very few glitches. After upgrading the kernek to a customized 2.4.7, I decided to get tpctl working last night. The tpctl packages in tsting are really old (0.8 something or other, the same ones as stable), while the unstable ones are very recent (2.5.4). I installed and compiled tpctl-sources just fine. When using modconf to get the modules installed I get everything working except for the main driver, thinkpad.o that refuses to load. Therefore, I can't get the tpctl utilities to work.
I saw that the dependencies of the unstable tpctl packages are met by an up-to-date testing box like mine, so I'll probably try to install those instead. Does anybody have any experience in tpctl and 2,4 kernels using testing? The tpctl page talks about some dependencies of versions with kernel versions, but there's nothing in the Debian packages. (How to properly do kernel dependencies is a tough one, I'm sure.) Thanks, -- Ignasi.
