ibm-acpi enhancement request

[Paul Ionescu]

Hi Boris,

I am trying to write some code for ibm-acpi
integration in HAL to better support IBM Thinkpads in
HAL. 
(http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fhal )
This way we may have a general GUI for interacting
with hardware, and we can let go of tpb.
Do you think that is easy possible to have exported
current_brightness and current_soundmixer in
/proc/sys/ibm/ ?

If it's easy, we can discuss further how to do it.
And maybe we can think of other things we might add.

this is a good idea, I don't have the capacity to code and help you, but
I can test whatever you want ;-)

Why don't integrate the two approaches in an unique one? The first thing
that came in my mind was this:
   http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/configure-thinkpad.html

Thx, bye,

In the end we will have only one GUI, but that would be HAL/DBUS aware and
not IBM specific.
You will be able to configure some property via a generic program, no
matter what laptop/desktop you have.

Think of something like what is alsamixer for soundcards if you like: you
can adjust parameters of various soundcards with different parameters with
only one program.

actually, this is even a better idea than tpctl ;-)

As I said in my previous post, I'm here for any kind of tests.
