Hello everyone, first time posting on this last, and I'm not subscribed, so please CC any replies to me. ;)
I'm running Kernel version 3.1-4 using Arch Linux (32 Bit) on a Thinkpad X60 Tablet. Since upgrading from a pre-3.1 kernel to a post-3.1 kernel, the Thinkpad-specific ACPI events (from thinkpad-acpi) are completely gone.
This can be observed by using the acpi_listen command. For instance, no ACPI events happen when swiveling the display, and the sleep button returns button/sleep SBTN 00000080 00000000 instead of the previous ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004
The bug was reported in the Arch Linux bugtracker [1] and it was suggested to report this upstream, so this is what I did now. Sadly I have no idea how I could find out if this is indeed a kernel bug or not; I have never compiled my own kernel so what I can give you is probably limited. But I suppose quite a few members of this list use a Thinkpad. If there is anything else I can help out with, just tell me.
