I installed thinkpad-base and tpctl.  Now when I run tpctl --x  I get 
tpctl: System error message is: No such device
tpctl: Can't open device file /dev/thinkpad with flags O_RONLY. Exiting.

ls-l /dev/thinkpad
lrwxrwxrwx      1 root  thinkpad  5 Apr 3 07:36  /dev/thinkpad -> smapi

ls -l /dev/smapi
crw-rw-r--      1 root  root    10, 170 Apr 3 07:36 dev/smapi

I had X in full screen before the system crash (previous post, can't
start gdm or login as user,).
