+This is a Linux driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It
+supports various features of these laptops which are accessible
+through the ACPI and ACPI EC framework, but not otherwise fully
+supported by the generic Linux ACPI drivers.
+
+This driver used to be named ibm-acpi until kernel 2.6.21 and release
+0.13-20070314. It used to be in the drivers/acpi tree, but it was
+moved to the drivers/misc tree and renamed to thinkpad-acpi for kernel
+2.6.22, and release 0.14.
Status
- ThinkPad model name
- a copy of your DSDT, from /proc/acpi/dsdt
+ - a copy of the output of dmidecode, with serial numbers
+ and UUIDs masked off
- which driver features work and which don't
- the observed behavior of non-working features
------------
If you are compiling this driver as included in the Linux kernel
-sources, simply enable the CONFIG_ACPI_IBM option (Power Management /
-ACPI / IBM ThinkPad Laptop Extras).
+sources, simply enable the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI option, and optionally
+enable the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY option if you want the
+thinkpad-specific bay functionality.
Features
--------
booted while not in the dock, the following message is shown in the
logs:
- Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: ibm_acpi: dock device not present
+ Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: thinkpad_acpi: dock device not present
In this case, no dock-related events are generated but the dock and
undock commands described below still work. They can be executed
in the Linux ACPI framework. If the laptop was booted without the
UltraBay, the following message is shown in the logs:
- Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: ibm_acpi: bay device not present
+ Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: thinkpad_acpi: bay device not present
In this case, no bay-related events are generated but the eject
command described below still works. It can be executed manually or
The ThinkPad's ACPI DSDT code will reprogram the fan on its own when
certain conditions are met. It will override any fan programming done

-The ibm-acpi kernel driver can be programmed to revert the fan level
-to a safe setting if userspace does not issue one of the fan commands:
-"enable", "disable", "level" or "watchdog" within a configurable
-ammount of time. To do this, use the "watchdog" command.
