Karmic carries the driver in the ubuntu modules ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released
** Description changed: + SRU justification: + + Impact: Lenovo-SL laptops are missing some important functionality as + the thinkpad-acpi driver does not support these models. + + Fix: For Intrepid and Jaunty we add this driver to the backports-modules + package, for Karmic it was included in the ubuntu-modules (in the + kernel-package) + + Testcase: see below + + --- + Please add driver for Lenovo SL Thinkpads to kernel. Those laptops are not really Thinkpads, and without additional driver they are half-working. Things which won't function properly without driver: - bluetooth - volume keys - brightness control Not working volume keys are minor thing, but no functioning BT and brightness are real issues. Driver is available here: http://github.com/tetromino/lenovo-sl-laptop/tree/master It compiles without problem with Jaunty Beta kernel, I've tested it on Thinkpad SL500. It is being proposed for inclusion in kernel proper: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7427/ Additionaly, as it only adding functionality, it won't cause any regressions. -- please add lenovo-sl-laptop to ubuntu sauce https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351586 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
