Contents. thinkpad-acpi - ThinkPad ACPI Extras Driver This is a Linux ACPI driver for the ThinkPad laptops written by Borislav Deianov, and currently maintained by and is included with the Linux kernel. It aims to support various features of these laptops which are accessible through the ACPI framework but not otherwise supported by the generic Linux ACPI drivers. As a kernel module, thinkpad-acpi works as a bridge to deliver information about certain hardware events like key presses or control the state of certain hardware features by software.
As of kernel 2.6.33 the thinkpadacpi driver now has a ALSA sub-driver which creates an additional ALSA volume control which represents the volume and mute buttons on the ThinkPad keyboard. Unfortunately no further integration exists at this point with userspace, such as PulseAudio and as such there is no effective change for the end-user Thinkpad-specific ACPI driver This is a Linux ACPI driver for the ThinkPad laptops written by Borislav Deianov and Henrique de Moraes Holschuh.
Acpi Nsc1100 Ibm Driver For Mac Pro![]()
The driver replaces ibm-acpi in Linux mainline as of 2.6.22 (March 2007). To confuse matters further, it appears that there was also an older (now abandoned) driver of the same name written by Erik Rigtorp which never made it into the mainline kernel. The current thinkpad-acpi contains essentially the same functionality as ibm-acpi with some added features.

Among which are registering of acpi events to the 'thinkvantage' and volume/mute buttons which could previously only be accessed through the use of the utility. In Linux Kernel v2.6.31 'make menuconfig' the driver can be enabled in: Device Drivers -. X86 Platform Specific Device Drivers - ThinkPad ACPI Laptop Extras Maintainer debug facilities Verbose debug mode Allow control of important LEDs (unsafe) Video output control support Support NVRAM polling for hot keys Hibernate When hibernating, thinkpadacpi should be added to the modules which are unloaded before and reloaded after hibernation. Otherwise, thinkpadacpi may not be loadable after hibernate again. For pm-utils, just create the following file: /etc/pm/config.d/thinkpadacpi SUSPENDMODULES='thinkpadacpi' Hotkeys To view which hotkeys are active you can use 'acpilisten', but that is deprecated. A better way is to use 'lsinput' and 'input-events' commands to look at the output of the thinkpad-acpi input device(s). One important difference from ibm-acpi for those who wish to enable all possible hot keys, is that thinkpad-acpi automatically enables them.
One should not need to do anything to get the best possible thinkpad-acpi configuration for his ThinkPad (as long as he is using the latest thinkpad-acpi). In particular, old documentation that tells you to 'echo enable,0xffffffff /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey', or to give thinkpad-acpi any hotkey= module parameters to enable hot keys by default, is likely incorrect. The thinkpad-acpi driver has detailed documentation, which is shipped inside the Linux kernel sources, as 'Documentation/thinkpad-acpi.txt' or as 'Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt'. If you feel a need to change the hot key mask manually, it is probably best to look at that documentation first to understand the full side effects of any changes.
So HOPEFULLY there is still someone on here who can help me. V gear mobidtv driver for mac. I just put WIN7 on my ThinkCentre M51 with 4GB of RAM to use as a web surfer/word processor workstation. I have the ACPI NSC1100 driver issue, however when I click the link above it only takes me to the main Lenovo support page.

When I try and look up the model (M51), it is NOT listed, the search only allows you to look at the M32 or the M52, nothing inbetween. Any other suggestions on where I can get the driver for this device? I'm assuming they took it off the page since WIN XP support ended in 2014, but not 100% sure that's why. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
