Same here with a ThinkPad R40 and Kubuntu 6.10. I got it partly working by installing kmilo-thinkpad, loading nvram module and changing the rights of /dev/nvram:
sudo addgroup nvram sudo adduser username nvram sudo chown :nvram /dev/nvram appending "nvram" to /etc/modules This states also the problem described above. The volume bar jumps around quite a bit. See also similar bug #31778 which is marked "fix released". -- kmilo-legacy needed to display brightness changes, zoom, etc, on Thinkpad T41p https://launchpad.net/bugs/76091 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
