| − | === 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.

| − | Some of these features are available only when the module is loaded with the <tt>experimental=1</tt> option. To enable it, add the following to {{path|/etc/modprobe.conf}} (or your distribution's equivalent):
| |
| − | options ibm_acpi experimental=1
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | for kernels 2.6.22 and above fan control is enabled with the following in /etc/modprobe.conf:

| |
| − | * Public releases: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=117042
| |
| − | * ibm-acpi is included with the Linux kernel since 2.6.10.
| |
| − | * Mailing list: [[Mailinglists#ibm-acpi_Developers_Mailinglist|ibm-acpi-devel]]
| |
| − | * [[Git]] repository: git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git ([http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git browse])

| − | === Status ===
| |
| − | In development, usable, actively maintained. Patches should go to the ibm-acpi-devel [[mailinglists|mailing list]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | On older versions of the driver, 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. This has been fixed in the latest thinkpad-acpi devel/backport versions and also kernel 2.6.26.

| |
| − | * [http://www.gkrellm.net GKrellM] supports fan and thermal information
| |
| − | * [http://conky.sourceforge.net/ Conky] Displays the same information as GKrellM but displays it differently
| |
| − | * [http://www.joachim-breitner.de/blog/archives/38-Created-gaim-thinklight.html gaim-thinklight] is a gaim plugin which makes the [[ThinkLight]] blink when a message arrives.
| |
| − | * [http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/pidgin-blinklight pidgin-thinklight] same as above but for pidgin
| |
| − | * [http://www.chris-lamb.co.uk/code/gaim-lightthink/ gaim-lightthink] is an alternative to gaim-thinklight.
| |
| − | * [http://hunz.org/ rocklight] is a xmms visualization plugin that makes the ThinkLight flash to the beat of your music. The package also includes a standalone stroboscope mode program.
| |
| − | * [http://sensors-applet.sourceforge.net/ GNOME Sensors Applet] is a small gnome panel applet which shows the fan speed and thermal information. In Debian it's the [http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sensors-applet&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all sensors-applet] package.
| |
| − | * [[ACPI fan control script|ACPI fan control scripts]] can be used to control the system fan according to system temperatures (overriding the firmware)
