| − | === ibm-acpi - IBM ThinkPad ACPI Extras Driver ===
| |
| − | This is a Linux ACPI driver for the IBM ThinkPad laptops written by Borislav Deianov, and currently maintained by [[User:hmh|Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]]. It aims to support various features of these laptops which are accessible through the ACPI framework but not otherwise supported by the generic Linux ACPI drivers. As a kernel module, ibm-acpi works as a bridge to deliver information about certain hardware events like key presses or control the state of certain hardware features by software.

| − | === Status ===
| |
| − | In development, usable, actively maintained. Patches should go to the ibm-acpi-devel [[mailinglists|mailing list]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Even if you have disabled the BIOS setting for automatically dimming at battery power, after using the brightness switch of ibm-acpi, the auto-dimming behavior is enabled. So, if you need a bright display even on battery power, you should not set any brightness via /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness.
