Thanks, but e520 is way out of tp-smapi's support :(

The hardware does, but noone has docs how to implement it.
I would be glad to get some, but I fear this is out of scope here :(
Does the E520 have a thinkpad embedded controller at all?
What does `dmidecode|grep Embedded\ Controller` tell you?

linux-image-3.1.0-1-amd64:
/lib/modules/3.1.0-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/hdaps.ko
