The tpctl user-space tool, in conjunction with the thinkpad kernel module, provide access to SMAPI functions on ThinkPads. It provides rich functionality for older ThinkPads, but on newer ThinkPads much of this functionality is exposed and supported through an ACPI interface and the SMAPI access does not work anymore.

Newer models are supported by the tp_smapi driver.

NOTE!
The thinkpad module is not compatible with newer kernels.
  • For kernel 2.6.3 and newer you need tpctl >=4.14 and thinkpad >=5.5.
  • Kernels from 2.6.9 are not supported anymore (patch needed).

Features

Various power management options and hardware control. For details and usage, see the README.
