What is the Thinkpad button? My 600X has only a Fn key (which you use
with the F-keys). Does it require any kernel modules? If I can test it
on my 600X, I will happily upload it if it does not require kernel
modules, if I can not test it, I will consider it ...

Also, you may want to look at these:
http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/cooker/thinkpad-4.1-1mdk.src.rpm
(kernel modules ... Chmouel, have you had time to look at this?)
http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/cooker/tpctl-4.2-1mdk.src.rpm
(requires the thinkpad driver above)
