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.
