Hi Boris,

I found this in the README file:

TODO
----
The following features are planned but not yet implemented:
- LCD on/off switching
- LCD / external display switching
- LED status and control

Other features I'd like to support but don't yet have any information
on:
- TrackPoint tap enable/disable
- motion sensor support


And I can add more ideas to it:

Methods for adjusting LCD brightness and sound volume, and then we can use
an external keyboard to control them. (something like
/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness and /proc/acpi/ibm/volume )

Method to soft eject/insert the device in UltraBay, and capture the event
generated by the pull-off device-from-bay  button.

As for the tapping on Trackpoint, I think it can be programed with the
synaptic driver which can do more than that.
See: http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/

And the motion sensor I don't think is an acpi device.

Thanks,
Paul
