The <tt>tp_smapi</tt> kernel module exposes some features of the ThinkPad hardware/firmware via a <tt>sysfs</tt> interface. Currently, the main implemented functionality is control of battery charging and extended battery status. The tp_smapi software package also includes an improved version of the [[HDAPS]] driver. The underlying hardware interfaces are [[SMAPI support for Linux|SMAPI]] and direct access to the embedded controller.

This driver uses undocumented features and direct hardware access, so it may work unreliably or even damage your hardware; but so far no such damage has been reported.
|}

===Features===
*<tt>tp_smapi</tt> driver
**Battery charge/discharge control
**Battery status information
*<tt>hdaps</tt> driver (compared with the standard <tt>hdaps</tt> driver)
**Improved stability
**Improved model support
**Improved functionality

===Project Homepage / Availability===
* Project page: http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/
* Download page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpctl/files/tp_smapi, a newer version 0.41 is available in a fork at https://github.com/evgeni/tp_smapi which is also available in Debian
* You need to download only the <i>tp_smapi</i> package.

===Installation===
====Installation from source====
You will need the kernel headers and makefiles corresponding to your current kernel version. On {{Fedora}}, this means {{cmdroot|yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)}} .

:{{cmdroot|tar xzvf tp_smapi-0.40.tgz}}
:{{cmdroot|cd tp_smapi-0.40}}

Then, either compile and load the driver within the current working directory (for testing):
:{{cmdroot|make load}}
OR compile and install into the kernel's module path:
:{{cmdroot|make install}}

If you use the [[HDAPS]] driver, add <tt>HDAPS=1</tt> to also patch the <tt>hdaps</tt> for compatibility with <tt>tp_smapi</tt> (this requires a kernel source tree matching the current kernel).
Again, either load the driver within the current working directory:
:{{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}}
OR install into the kernel's module path:
:{{cmdroot|1=make install HDAPS=1}}

To prepare a stand-alone patch against the current kernel tree (including
a patch against <tt>hdaps</tt> and new <tt>Kconfig</tt> entries):
:{{cmdroot|make patch}}

To delete all autogenerated files:
:{{cmdroot|make clean}}

The original kernel tree is never modified by any these commands.
The {{path|/lib/modules}} directory is modified only by {{cmdroot|make install}}.

====Installation in Gentoo====
The {{Gentoo}} portage system carries a [http://packages.gentoo.org/package/app-laptop/tp_smapi tp_smapi package], which follows the latest version pretty closely. On a Gentoo system, you can install and load as follows.

If you use the [[HDAPS]] driver, do this first:

* Disable the <tt>hdaps</tt> module in your kernel configuration (Device Drivers → Hardware Monitoring Support → IBM Hard Drive Active Protection System)
* Rebuild and install the kernel
* Add the <tt>hdaps</tt> use flag in {{path|/etc/make.conf}}
* {{cmdroot|rmmod hdaps}}

Then:
* {{cmdroot|emerge tp_smapi}} (or install tp_smapi with hdaps support manually, as above)
* {{cmdroot|echo "tp_smapi" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6}}
* {{cmdroot|echo "hdaps" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6}}

Then reboot, or run:
* {{cmdroot|modprobe tp_smapi}}
* {{cmdroot|modprobe hdaps}}

'''NOTE:''' If {{cmdroot|modprobe}} fails and dmesg says something about <tt>__stack_chk_fail()</tt>, you probably just compiled your modules with <tt>-fstack-protector</tt> and/or <tt>-fstack-protector-all</tt> without having a kernel that supports it. You can either configure your kernel to have <tt>CC_STACKPROTECTOR</tt> enabled (in ''Processor type and features'' if you use {{cmdroot|make menuconfig}}) or edit your <tt>make.conf</tt> (or, if you're using paludis, your <tt>/etc/paludis/bashrc</tt>) and remove <tt>-fstack-protector</tt> and <tt>-fstack-protector-all</tt> from your <tt>CFLAGS</tt>. If you choose to enable it in the kernel, be aware that you need a patched GCC for it (and I do not know if the gcc in stage3 is patched).

====Installation on Debian unstable (sid), testing (squeeze) or stable (lenny)====
Debian now contains the [http://packages.debian.org/tp-smapi packaged module source] and prebuilt modules for Debian kernels.

If you use a stock Debian kernel, you can install the tp_smapi modules with:
* {{cmdroot|apt-get install tp-smapi-modules-`uname -r`}}
* in order to make sure the modules package is kept in sync with the kernel one, you may also want to install the <code>tm-smapi-modules-2.6-686</code> or <code>tm-smapi-modules-2.6-amd64</code> package, depending on your architecture

If you use a custom kernel, you can build tp_smapi with module-assistant:
* {{cmdroot|aptitude install tp-smapi-source}}
* {{cmdroot|m-a -t a-i tp-smapi}}

====Installation on Debian unstable (sid) or testing (squeeze) (kernel >=2.6.32-5)====
You can use 'dkms' on Debian unstable (sid) or testing (squeeze) (kernel >=2.6.32-5) (Note: If installation seems ineffective, confirm your have the linux-headers of your kernel installed, purge tp-smapi-dkms and reinstall.)
* {{cmdroot|aptitude install tp-smapi-dkms}}

====Installation on openSUSE====
openSUSE provides rpm packages. Look for them at the package search: [http://software.opensuse.org/search/], search for the package named "tp_smapi".

A step-by-step guide on how a relative linux newbie installed tp_smapi on a Thinkpad W500 running openSuse 11.1 using YAST Software Manager is available [http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/laptop/417254-tp_smapi-lenovo-thinkpad-t400-t500-w500-step-step.html#post2005932 here]

In case you are taking the hard way around, while compiling on 11.0, make complained about not being able to locate the kernel sources. It worked for me after I did this:
<pre><nowiki>cp /usr/include/linux/aio_abi.h /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/</nowiki></pre>

====Installation on Ubuntu====
Ubuntu ships tp_smapi in their <tt>linux-ubuntu-modules-*</tt> package for Hardy, so you don't have to build it yourself. Please note that they have renamed tp_smapi's modified <tt>hdaps</tt> module to <tt>hdaps_ec</tt> so that the two can coexist. You should load <tt>hdaps_ec</tt>, not <tt>hdaps</tt>.

Ubuntu Intrepid and Jaunty, however, lack the <tt>hdaps_ec</tt> module, as reported [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/297213 here]. It will not be included again until said [[#Bundled hdaps driver|bundled hdaps driver]] is merged into mainline.

=====Installation on Ubuntu Jaunty=====
I have posted my experiences [http://meandmyubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/05/getting-hdasp-to-work-on-jaunty.html here]

=====Installation on Ubuntu Karmic=====
Ubuntu does not ship the precompiled module tp_smapi any more. However the source code is still present in the repository. It can be installed through module-assistant :
:{{cmdroot|aptitude install tp-smapi-source}}
:{{cmdroot|module-assistant prepare tp-smapi}}
:{{cmdroot|module-assistant auto-install tp-smapi}}
:{{cmdroot|modprobe tp-smapi}}

=====Installation on Ubuntu Lucid=====
The Karmic solution above works well.

As an alternative, one can use the dkms flavour of the packages via
:{{cmdroot|aptitude install tp-smapi-dkms}}
:{{cmdroot|modprobe tp_smapi}}

{{HINT|This appears to be the ideal solution. A description of DKMS, from [http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms Dell]: "DKMS stands for Dynamic Kernel Module Support. It is designed to create a framework where kernel dependent module source can reside so that it is very easy to rebuild modules as you upgrade kernels."}}

====Installation on older Ubuntu/Debian====
Installation on Ubuntu or Debian is quite easy, but there are a few things to look after:

To get your system ready for compiling code, install the build-essentials (as root, of course, as all of the following comands; Ubuntu users have to prepend 'sudo' to every line and enter their own password when prompted):
<pre><nowiki>apt-get install build-essential</nowiki></pre>

To get tp_smapi to work, obtain the latest source as mentioned above and unpack it. If you want to use HDAPS, you need to install the kernel source matching te kernel you are running. To do so, issue this:
<pre><nowiki>uname -r</nowiki></pre>
This will give you the version of your current kernel.
Debian users execute the following:
<pre><nowiki>apt-get install linux-source-`uname -r`</nowiki></pre>
Ubuntu users execute the following using the kernel-version only (exclude -XX-generic; e.g. 'linux-source-2.6.20'):
<pre><nowiki>apt-get install linux-source-`uname -r`</nowiki></pre>

Be sure to unpack the source file. The easiest way is to open Nautilus as root:
<pre><nowiki>sudo nautilus</nowiki></pre>
Then browse to /usr/src/ and extract the source file to that directory.

Now change to the tp_smapi dir:
<pre><nowiki>cd tp_smapi-X.YY</nowiki></pre> (X.YY being the version-number of [[tp_smapi]])
and make and install tp_smapi as instructed above.

If you get an error that the kernel version isn't matching (or that you need to set KSRC/KBUILD), please check that there is a symlink from the modules dir to the kernel source:
<pre><nowiki>root@localhost:~#ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2007-02-02 08:39 build -> /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20</nowiki></pre>
Create the link if the line above does not exist:
<pre><nowiki>root@localhost:~#ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20 /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/build</nowiki></pre>

Now the following will build and install the correct modules to their locations:
<pre><nowiki>make install HDAPS=1</nowiki></pre>
To make sure your system loads the modules at boot time, do this:
<pre><nowiki>echo "tp_smapi" >> /etc/modules
echo "hdaps" >> /etc/modules</nowiki></pre>
and update your initramfs:
<pre><nowiki>update-initramfs -u</nowiki></pre>

To get tp_smapi running now, just load the modules:
<pre><nowiki>modprobe -a tp_smapi hdaps</nowiki></pre>

This description was tested on Kubuntu 'Feisty Fawn' and should work on all Debian-based distros with minor tweaks.

'''EDIT:''' Works on Kubuntu 7.10 ("Gutsy Gibbon"), too

===Battery charge control features===
{{NOTE|Not all Thinkpad ECs support these charge control features. If you get the message "Operation not supported" when trying to cat for the status of a given parameter, it means your controller does not support that feature.}}

To set the thresholds for starting and stopping battery charging (in percent of current full charge capacity):
:{{cmdroot|echo 40 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh}}
:{{cmdroot|echo 70 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh}}
:{{cmdroot|cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/*_charge_thresh}}
{{HINT|Battery charging thresholds can be used to keep Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries partially charged, in order to [[Maintenance#Battery_treatment|increase their lifetime]].}}
To prevent charging for 17 minutes (regardless of thresholds):
:{{cmdroot|echo 17 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/inhibit_charge_minutes}}
{{HINT|Charge inhibiting can be used to reduce the power draw of the laptop, in order to use an under-spec power supply that can't handle the combined power draw of running and charging. It can also be used to control which battery is charged when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|using an Ultrabay battery]].}}

To cancel charging preventation:
:{{cmdroot|echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/inhibit_charge_minutes}}

To force battery discharging (even if connected to AC):
:{{cmdroot|echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/force_discharge}}
{{HINT|This can be used to choose which battery is discharged when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|using an UltraBay battery]]. For example, see the {{CodeRef|tp-bat-balance}} script.}}

To cancel forced discharge:
:{{cmdroot|echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/force_discharge}}

{{HINT|TPBattStat-Applet is a gnome applet for integrating battery balancing with a graphics and/or text display of both batteries in a panel. Battery balancing improves battery life by not leaving one battery empty while the other discharges. For the latest alpha release, see https://github.com/teleshoes/tpbattstat-applet}}

====Making the settings permanent on reboot====

If you always use the same type of battery, then you may want the same settings to be configured each time you boot the machine.

If you use various types of battery, then you may want to consider writing some scripts to detect the battery type and apply the appropriate settings.

=====Debian=====

It is not necessary to create your own init.d script or modify /etc/rc.local - you just need the package sysfsutils:
:{{cmdroot|apt-get install sysfsutils}}

Now, put your desired settings in /etc/sysfs.conf:

<pre><nowiki># cat >> /etc/sysfs.conf << EOF
# For a LiIon battery in a Thinkpad
devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh = 50
devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh = 80
EOF</nowiki></pre>

The init script supplied by sysfsutils will load these settings on each boot.

===Battery status features===
To view extended battery status such as charging state, voltage, current, capacity, cycle count and model information:

<pre>
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/installed
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/state # idle/charging/discharging
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/cycle_count
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/current_now # instantaneous current
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/current_avg # last minute average
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/power_now # instantaneous power
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/power_avg # last minute average
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/last_full_capacity
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_percent
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_running_time
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_charging_time
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_capacity
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/design_capacity
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/voltage
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/design_voltage
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/manufacturer
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/model
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/barcoding
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/chemistry
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/serial
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/manufacture_date
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/first_use_date
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/temperature # in milli-Celsius
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/ac_connected
</pre>

The raw status data is also available, including some fields not listed above (in case you can figure them out):

:{{cmdroot|cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/dump}}

In all of the above, replace <tt>BAT0</tt> with <tt>BAT1</tt> to address the 2nd battery.

Note that the battery status readout conflicts with the stock [[HDAPS|hdaps]] driver, so if you use <tt>hdaps</tt> you will need to load <tt>tp_smapi</tt> using {{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}} (see [[#Bundled hdaps driver|Bundled hdaps driver]] below).

On [[ACPI]]-enabled systems, most of above information is also available through the files under {{path|/proc/acpi/battery}}. However, the ACPI interface does not include the instantaneous power and cycle count readouts, and does not work well when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|hotswapping UltraBay batteries]].

====Scripts====
Some scripts can make it easier to grep the information you need from tp_smapi
* [[battery.rb]]

===Other features===

There is also [[sysfs]] attribute for making direct SMAPI requests to the SM BIOS firmware. Don't touch it unless you really know what you're doing. Example:
# echo '211a 100 0 0' > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/smapi_request; cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/smapi_request
211a 34b b2 0 0 0 'OK'
The "4b" in the 2nd value, converted to decimal, is 75: the current charging stop threshold (stop_charge_thresh).

===Bundled <tt>hdaps</tt> driver===

The tp_smapi package includes a modified version of the <tt>hdaps</tt> Linux kernel driver used by the [[HDAPS]] system. It has remained outside the mainline kernel for a few years for several reasons, [https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2009-April/005565.html] including the upstream maintainer's assertion that the new code's anonymous author was under a NDA. (Although this would not normally expose the kernel team to litigation.) [http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/15/126] [http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/7/403] [http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/7/428]

To use <tt>tp_smapi</tt> and <tt>hdaps</tt> concurrently, you '''must''' use the modified version.

To build the modified version, simply append the <tt>HDAPS=1</tt> parameter to the <tt>make</tt> command (see [[#Installation|Installation]] above):
:{{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}}
or
:{{cmdroot|1=make install HDAPS=1}}

If you don't do that, you will not be able to load <tt>tp_smapi</tt> (and its support module <tt>thinkpad_ec</tt>) when <tt>hdaps</tt> is loaded, and vice versa. You can use <tt>rmmod</tt> to switch between these modules.

Note that some of the battery status is also visible through ACPI ({{path|/proc/acpi/battery/*}}), independently of <tt>tp_smapi</tt>.

The modified <tt>hdaps</tt> has several changes:
* The <tt>hdaps</tt> driver in mainline kernels conflicts with the extended battery status (they use the same IO ports). The modified <tt>hdaps</tt> coordinates this access through the bundled <tt>thinkpad_ec</tt> driver.
* The modified <tt>hdaps</tt> driver fixes reliability and improves support for recent ThinkPad models (*60 and newer), since unlike the mainline driver, it correctly follows the Embedded Controller communication protocol.
* Several other improvements, such as the ability to control the polling rate.

===Troubleshooting===
==== <tt>thinkpad_ec: cannot claim io ports 0x1600-0x161f</tt> ====
The "<tt>thinkpad_ec: cannot claim io ports 0x1600-0x161f!</tt>" error message is printed when loading the <tt>thinkpad_ec</tt> module on some recent ThinkPad models. This occurs because the ACPI BIOS DSDT is reserving ports used by tp_smapi.

As a workaround, add the <tt>force_io=1</tt> module parameter to <tt>thinkpad_ec</tt> in {{path|/etc/modprobe.conf}} (or your distribution's equivalent). Add the line:
: options thinkpad_ec force_io=1

For transient testing, load the modules as follows:

: {{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1 FORCE_IO=1}}

Note: force_io option was added in tp_smapi v0.40 (released 2008-12-16).

Models which need this option include: {{T400}}, {{T500}}, {{X60s}}, {{X61}}, {{X301}}

More information:
* http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12221
* http://www.nabble.com/thinkpad_ec-fails-to-load-on-Thinkpad-T500-td19932985.html

==== <tt>thinkpad_ec: no ThinkPad embedded controller!</tt> ====
If you get "<tt>thinkpad_ec: no ThinkPad embedded controller!</tt>" when trying to load the module on a supported model listed below, you should [[BIOS_Upgrade|upgrade your BIOS]]. Some early BIOS (like 1.x on the X31) don't handle the embedded controller.

==== <tt>T60p writing to start_charge_thresh/stop_charge_thresh does not work!</tt> ====
Writing to /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh succeeds, but the older value does not change. Solution: unknown. If you know a solution please update here.

UPDATE: Failure to effectively change sysfs values sometimes happens at boot time (through sysfs.conf OR etc/local.start for instance) when the values have never previously been changed manually (ie using echo from a shell). Try initializing the values manually before including them in boot-time scripting.

===Model-specific status===

Tip: The <tt>thinkpad-acpi</tt> module reports both the BIOS and EC firmware versions when it loads.

=====SL series and IdeaPad=====
|-
! colspan=12 style="text-align:left" |
The ThinkPad SL series and IdeaPad series have firmware that is completely different from other ThinkPad models. Neither [[tp_smapi]] nor [[thinkpad-acpi]] support these models.
|}
</div>

SMAPI capabilities may depend on the BIOS version as well, so upgrading to the latest version of the BIOS might provide more SMAPI functions (especially true for long-lived BIOS with lots of releases, like the TP-1R).

Please update the above and report your experience on the [[Talk:tp_smapi|discussion]] page. If the module loads but gives a "<tt>not supported</tt>" or "<tt>not implementeded</tt>" error when you try to use some specific file in {{path|/sys/devices/platform/smapi/}}, please report the <tt>dmesg</tt> output and whether the corresponding functionality is available under Windows - maybe your ThinkPad just can't do that.

While at it, you may also want to add your laptop to the [[list of DMI IDs]].

=====HDAPS axis orientation=====
<sup>1</sup> The HDAPS axis orientation is set using the <tt>invert</tt> module parameter (at load time) or sysfs attribute (at runtime). The <tt>hdaps</tt> driver of tp_smapi supports all 8 possible sensor orientations (inversion and swapping). You can use [[HDAPS#Visualisation_of_ThinkPad_orientation|hdaps visualisation]] to check if the settings is correct.

The <tt>invert</tt> parameter is an integer between 0 and 7, whose meaning is defined below. (This is confusing. Most people will find it easier to just try all 8 possibilities.)

Let <tt>X</tt> and <tt>Y</tt> denote the hardware readouts. Let <tt>R</tt> denote the laptop's roll (tilt left/right), and let <tt>P</tt> denote the laptop's pitch (tilt forward/backward). The possible values are as follows:
invert=0: R= X P= Y (same as mainline)
invert=1: R=-X P=-Y (same as mainline)
invert=2: R=-X P= Y (new)
invert=3: R= X P=-Y (new)
invert=4: R= Y P= X (new)
invert=5: R=-Y P=-X (new)
invert=6: R=-Y P= X (new)
invert=7: R= Y P=-X (new)

[[Category:Drivers]] [[Category:Patches]]

===Tools using this driver===

The driver's interface can be accessed directly through the files under {{path|/sys/devices/platform/smapi}}, or via the following tools:
* [[KThinkBat]] - display battery status on the KDE <tt>kicker</tt> panel.
* [[gkrellm-ThinkBat]] - battery status plugin for Gkrellm2
* {{CodeRef|thinkpad-smapi.sh}} - script to display various SMAPI information using tp_smapi module.

Idle consumptions

2011-03-29T12:42:10Z

Vminko:

This page reports the minimal consumptions of Thinkpads when idle. This means, in principle: minimum brightness, CPU and GPU at lowest speed, no wifi, hard drive spun down, no pcmcia cards inserted (see details of each entry).

This kind of information has several uses: comparing one's consumption with that of other people's setups, knowing which model to use as a gateway/file server, etc.

|style="vertical-align:top" |
<div style="margin: 0; margin-right:10px; border: 1px solid #dfdfdf; padding: 0em 1em 1em 1em; background-color:#F8F8FF; align:right;">
The ThinkLight is a little LED light integrated into the top edge of the display frame in the A, R, T, X, Z and i Series ThinkPad models. It illuminates the ThinkPad's keyboard so that one can type in the dark without using an external light source. The ThinkLight can be controlled via the {{key|Fn}}{{key|PageUp}} key combination or via ACPI on some of the newer models. The LED is amber on some models (e.g. X30s, X40s), and white on others (e.g. T40s).
Note that the ThinkLight is not available on the G series ThinkPads, nor on the X41 Tablet.
</div>
|}
==Linux Support==
Controlling the ThinkLight with the keyboard works on all systems since it relies on the BIOS exclusively. Just press {{key|Fn}}{{key|PageUp}} to toggle its state between on and off.

===Software Control via ibm-acpi===
Support for controlling the light with ACPI is provided by [[ibm-acpi]]. After installing it, a simple
:{{cmdroot|echo on > /proc/acpi/ibm/light}}
switches it on and a
:{{cmdroot|echo off > /proc/acpi/ibm/light}}
switches it off again.

This allows one to control the light in scripts. Unfortunately, no known ThinkPad comes with a light sensor (yet). ;)

To use these controls in scripts without root permissions, you should run
:{{cmdroot|chmod 666 /proc/acpi/ibm/light}}.

===Applications===
*'''gaim-thinklight''': If you are using [http://gaim.sf.net GAIM], the [http://www.joachim-breitner.de/blog/archives/38-Created-gaim-thinklight.html gaim-thinklight] plugin will enable you to use the ThinkLight as an indicator for new messages. This depends on [[ibm-acpi]].
*'''gaim-lighthink''': [http://www.chris-lamb.co.uk/code/gaim-lightthink/ gaim-lightthink] is an alternative to gaim-thinklight.
*'''pidgin-blinklight''':[http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/pidgin-blinklight pidgin-blinklight] is a replacement for gaim-lighthink intended for use with [http://pidgin.im/ Pidgin].
*'''rocklight''': [http://hunz.org/ rocklight] is a xmms visualization plugin that makes the ThinkLight flash to the beat of your music. The package also includes a standalone stroboscope mode program.
*'''thinkblinkd''':[http://badcode.de/downloads/thinkblinkd-0.1.7.tar.gz] Thinkblinkd is a python daemon to control the thinklight (and possibly other lights on your Thinkpad) it comes with the daemon and a control script.
*The [[script for theft alarm using HDAPS]] optionally flashes the ThinkLight when the alarm is armed (disabled by default, to enable set <tt>$use_light=1</tt>).
*'''kopete-thinklight''':[http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=47886] This plugin for kopete will enable the usage of the thinklight as notifiaction for new messages.
*'''stupid little hack to blink the ThinkLight''': [http://paste.lisp.org/display/37500] A little C program that may be set SUID so that you can use it from non-privileged programs that needs to do a little notification.
*'''thinkalert''': [http://www.mike.tl/view/Main/ThinkAlert] Another C program that may be set SUID to allow non-privileged programs to manipulate the ThinkLight. Adds some features over the "stupid little hack to blink the ThinkLight" program.
*'''thinklight-notification''': This [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1017263 Evolution plugin] notifies the user with a blinking light whenever a new message has arrived.

==Windows support==
Likewise, controlling the ThinkLight with the keyboard works without any additional software. The Hotkey Features software from IBM/Lenovo adds OSD icons that appear when the light is turned on/off.

===Software control via Hotkey Features===
The Hotkey Features software exposes an interface that allows (among other things) to control the ThinkLight. See [[Python script for Windows to control ThinkPad features]] for more information.

Vminko: /* What is the "perfect" desktop kernel .config for the X200? */

I have the ThinkPad X200, and I was wondering if anybody had success with hibernate, sleep, and general power saving?

Also, can anybody find the right framebuffer module and configure it for the 1200x800 screen resolution?

== See my Fedora 9 on X200 article ==

I am now running Fedora 10-Alpha/rawhide on my X200 and everything basically functions (gigabit ethernet, 5100AGN wireless, webcam) except I have to use the vesa driver with xorg.conf instead of the i810 which causes machine crashes. (Apparently it is a known bug upstream and I'm just hoping for some newer xorg-x11-drv-i810 to try out from rawhide). You can set a 1280x800 mode in xorg.conf with the vesa driver.

:Hmm... I run debian testing so I may or may not be able to help, but it appears that at least in X in debian, all the intel chips have been integrated into an 'intel' video driver, which works fine for me. The question about the 1200x800 mode was just for setting it in the framebuffer. Also, it appears that the option to disable HV expansion in BIOS has disappeared, has it not?

:Hibernate and sleep have the problem of immediately resuming—I don't believe any of the workarounds I found on the ACPI page have any effect.

:--[[User:Harrisonts|Harrisonts]] 08:09, 2 October 2008 (CEST)

::Hibernate works well with me. Suspend has the backlight issue. The resume is ok but the screen is dark. In fact on certain angles it is possible to see the image displayed...

::--[[User:rdemaria|rdemaria]] Mon Nov 10 19:43:59 EST 2008

::I mentioned i810 but that is just the package name on Fedora which includes the "intel" driver which is being loaded to operate the card when I tried it. It works after reboot but crashes after suspend/resume and hibernate/resume and there is a bug in the Fedora bugzilla (for rawhide/Fedora 10) already with multiple reporters for Thinkpad X200 models.

::Rdemaria: Are you using the vesa driver? I think the backlight works after suspend with the vesa xorg driver, if the i915 kernel module is loaded so it handles power management... however, I have not done enough cycles to be sure everything is reliable. I still have crashes on resume if I use the intel xorg driver. I use vesa and have modprobe i915 in my rc.local.
::: Yes it works!!!
:::--[[User:rdemaria|rdemaria]] Thu Nov 13 10:59:40 EST 2008

::Harrisonts: I wrote up a hardware issue in the known problems page. I had to have my X200 mainboard replaced, to make it stop resuming immediately from suspend, hibernate, and poweroff actions. It was painful to get through the layers of Lenovo tech support to do this, having to convince each person over again that there was a problem!

::--[[User:karlcz|karlcz]] Tue Nov 11 07:45:46 PST 2008

== Does the X200 have AMT? ==

Does anyone know whether the X200 has Intel AMT support? I don't see anything in the BIOS or during POST, but I've already destroyed the windows and recovery partitions and cannot check whether there are any other utilities to gain access...

== What is the "perfect" desktop kernel .config for the X200? ==

I'm trying to set up the "perfect" kernel configuration for the X200 when hardware is concerned. Questions like whether or not it should be compiled with legacy IDE support spring to mind, as well as how to take out all drivers and options for hardware not found on the box...

I know running a stock distribution kernel is the recommended way, but where's the fun and learning process in that? For those who want a deeper understanding, kernel tweaking seems to be one of multiple answers.

[http://pastebin.ca/1305061 My first attempt at optimal kernel .config]

Since I'm brand new here : Is this the right forum for such a discussion, and is the use of pastebin the appropriate place to share the kernel .config?

--[[User:Yalla-One|Yalla-One]] 15:36, 10 January 2009 (CET)

==== Notes ====
Sometimes even basic information is hard to find. Here's a place for it.
* Lenovo is having fulfillment problems (2008 Q4). Take estimated ship dates with a grain of salt. Ordering from Lenovo seems to be working better than resellers. Some resellers have yet to receive their first unit. One person I know received an X200 within days (direct, replacing stolen machine), another has been waiting for ~2 months.
* The '''X200T does ''not'' support [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-touch Multi-touch]!'''. "MultiTouch" is Lenovo's misleading way of saying you can use your finger, in addition to a pen. The X200T uses Wacom's no-longer-cutting-edge non-multitouch screen. Only one contact point is available in hardware.
*: Though, hypothetically, you could get two points from a MultiTouch screen, one from finger contact, and one from a stylus hovering over but not touching the screen - they are available in linux as separate devices. It's not clear it's ever been done.
* [[GPS]] - If you have an optional WWAN card (AT&T or Verizon), you have GPS. ''unconfirmed''
* The 5300 normally has 3 x 3 antennas. Adding the webcam reduces this to 2 x 2. ''unconfirmed''
*: Any other conflicts? Bluetooth, etc?
* X200T configured with SSD do '''not''' include the [[Active Protection System]] accelerometer. Despite alternate uses (theft deterrence). Confirmed by Lenovo US sales phone, 2008-10. [[User:Mitchell|Mitchell]] 21:54, 28 October 2008 (CET)
* X200 configured with SSD does include the [[Active Protection System]] accelerometer (at least 7454-CTO models shipped in Q4 2008). [[User:Vminko|Vminko]] 02:41, 30 December 2008 (CET)
* The [http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=AN&subtype=CA&htmlfid=897/ENUS108-588&appname=lenovous&language=en X200 Tablet Sleeve] supports 4 and 8 cell batteries, but not 9 cell. ''from announcement''
* The X200 does not have a touchpad. For folks who really want one, a somewhat messy possibility ''might'' be [http://www.ergonomictouchpad.com/ergonomic_touchpad.php www.ergonomictouchpad.com] (never used - no endorsement) which looks vaguely like a [http://www.cirque.com/cpages/?page=17 Cirque TSM9925 Touchpad] with velcro and wire added.
* There can be a ''big'' cost difference between preconfigured units from VARs, and custom configured units from shop.lenovo.com, as of 2008-10-31 ([http://alltp.blogspot.com/2008/10/heckuva-deal-on-lenovo-x200-tablet-pc.html examples]).
*: But shipping delays may be even greater than when ordering directly from Lenovo (2008 Q4).

Tp smapi

2008-12-30T00:11:08Z

Vminko: /* <tt>thinkpad_ec: cannot claim io ports 0x1600-0x161f</tt> */

{| width="100%"
|style="vertical-align:top;padding-right:20px;width:10px;white-space:nowrap;" | __TOC__
|style="vertical-align:top" |
The <tt>tp_smapi</tt> kernel module exposes some features of the ThinkPad hardware/firmware via a <tt>sysfs</tt> interface. Currently, the main implemented functionality is control of battery charging and extended battery status. It also includes an improved version of the [[HDAPS]] driver. The underlying hardware interfaces are [[SMAPI support for Linux|SMAPI]] and direct access to the embedded controller.

For older ThinkPad models, see also [[tpctl]].

This driver uses undocumented features and direct hardware access, so it may work unreliably or even damage your hardware; but so far no such damage has been reported.
|}

===Features===
*Battery charge/discharge control
*Battery status information
*Modified [[HDAPS]] driver with improved stability, model support and functionality

===Project Homepage / Availability===
* Project page: http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/
* You need to [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1212&package_id=171579 download] only the <tt>tp_smapi</tt> package.

===Installation===
====Installation from source====
You will need the kernel headers and makefiles corresponding to your current kernel version. On {{Fedora}}, this means {{cmdroot|yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)}} .

:{{cmdroot|tar xzvf tp_smapi-0.39.tgz}}
:{{cmdroot|cd tp_smapi-0.39}}

Then, either compile and load the driver within the current working directory (for testing):
:{{cmdroot|make load}}
OR compile and install into the kernel's module path:
:{{cmdroot|make install}}

If you use the [[HDAPS]] driver, add <tt>HDAPS=1</tt> to also patch the <tt>hdaps</tt> for compatibility with <tt>tp_smapi</tt> (this requires a kernel source tree matching the current kernel).
Again, either load the driver within the current working directory:
:{{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}}
OR install into the kernel's module path:
:{{cmdroot|1=make install HDAPS=1}}

To prepare a stand-alone patch against the current kernel tree (including
a patch against <tt>hdaps</tt> and new <tt>Kconfig</tt> entries):
:{{cmdroot|make patch}}

To delete all autogenerated files:
:{{cmdroot|make clean}}

The original kernel tree is never modified by any these commands.
The {{path|/lib/modules}} directory is modified only by {{cmdroot|make install}}.

====Installation in Gentoo====
The {{Gentoo}} portage system carries a [http://packages.gentoo.org/package/app-laptop/tp_smapi tp_smapi package], which follows the latest version pretty closely. On a Gentoo system, you can install and load as follows.

If you use the [[HDAPS]] driver, do this first:

* Disable the <tt>hdaps</tt> module in your kernel configuration (Device Drivers → Hardware Monitoring Support → IBM Hard Drive Active Protection System)
* Rebuild and install the kernel
* Add the <tt>hdaps</tt> use flag in {{path|/etc/make.conf}}
* {{cmdroot|rmmod hdaps}}

Then:
* {{cmdroot|emerge tp_smapi}} (or install tp_smapi with hdaps support manually, as above)
* {{cmdroot|echo "tp_smapi" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6}}
* {{cmdroot|echo "hdaps" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6}}

Then reboot, or run:
* {{cmdroot|modprobe tp_smapi}}
* {{cmdroot|modprobe hdaps}}

====Installation on Debian unstable (sid) or testing (lenny)====
Debian now contains the [http://packages.debian.org/tp-smapi packaged module source] and prebuilt modules for Debian kernels.

If you use a custom kernel, you can build tp_smapi with module-assistant:
* {{cmdroot|aptitude install tp-smapi-source}}
* {{cmdroot|m-a -t a-i tp-smapi}}

If you use a stock Debian kernel, you can install the tp_smapi modules with:
* {{cmdroot|apt-get install tp-smapi-modules-`uname -r`}}

====Installation on Ubuntu Hardy====
Ubuntu ships tp_smapi in their linux-ubuntu-modules Package since Hardy, so you don't have to build it yourself. Please note that they have renamed tp_smapi's modified <tt>hdaps</tt> module to <tt>hdaps_ec</tt>. You should load <tt>hdaps_ec</tt>, not <tt>hdaps</tt>.

====Installation on older Ubuntu/Debian====
Installation on Ubuntu or Debian is quite easy, but there are a few things to look after:

To get your system ready for compiling code, install the build-essentials (as root, of course, as all of the following comands; Ubuntu users have to prepend 'sudo' to every line and enter their own password when prompted):
<pre><nowiki>apt-get install build-essential</nowiki></pre>

To get tp_smapi to work, obtain the latest source as mentioned above and unpack it. If you want to use HDAPS, you need to install the kernel source matching te kernel you are running. To do so, issue this:
<pre><nowiki>uname -r</nowiki></pre>
This will give you the version of your current kernel.
Debian users execute the following:
<pre><nowiki>apt-get install linux-source-`uname -r`</nowiki></pre>
Ubuntu users execute the following using the kernel-version only (exclude -XX-generic; e.g. 'linux-source-2.6.20'):
<pre><nowiki>apt-get install linux-source-`uname -r`</nowiki></pre>

Be sure to unpack the source file. The easiest way is to open Nautilus as root:
<pre><nowiki>sudo nautilus</nowiki></pre>
Then browse to /usr/src/ and extract the source file to that directory.

Now change to the tp_smapi dir:
<pre><nowiki>cd tp_smapi-X.YY</nowiki></pre> (X.YY being the version-number of [[tp_smapi]])
and make and install tp_smapi as instructed above.

If you get an error that the kernel version isn't matching (or that you need to set KSRC/KBUILD), please check that there is a symlink from the modules dir to the kernel source:
<pre><nowiki>root@localhost:~#ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2007-02-02 08:39 build -> /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20</nowiki></pre>
Create the link if the line above is not existent:
<pre><nowiki>root@localhost:~#ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20 /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/build</nowiki></pre>

Now the following will build and install the correct modules to their locations:
<pre><nowiki>make install HDAPS=1</nowiki></pre>
To make sure your system loads the modules at boot time, do this:
<pre><nowiki>echo "tp_smapi" >> /etc/modules
echo "hdaps" >> /etc/modules</nowiki></pre>
and update your initramfs:
<pre><nowiki>update-initramfs -u</nowiki></pre>

To get tp_smapi running now, just load the modules:
<pre><nowiki>modprobe -a tp_smapi hdaps</nowiki></pre>

This description was tested on Kubuntu 'Feisty Fawn' and should work on all Debian-based distros with minor tweaks.

'''EDIT:''' Works on Kubuntu 7.10 ("Gutsy Gibbon"), too

===Battery charge control features===
To set the thresholds for starting and stopping battery charging (in percent of current full charge capacity):
:{{cmdroot|echo 40 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh}}
:{{cmdroot|echo 70 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh}}
:{{cmdroot|cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/*_charge_thresh}}
{{HINT|Battery charging thresholds can be used to keep Li-Ion ad Li-Polymer batteries partially charged, in order to [[Maintenance#Battery_treatment|increase their lifetime]].}}
To prevent charging for 17 minutes (regardless of thresholds):
:{{cmdroot|echo 17 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/inhibit_charge_minutes}}
{{HINT|Charge inhibiting can be used to reduce the power draw of the laptop, in order to use an under-spec power supply that can't handle the combined power draw of running and charging. It can also be used to control which battery is charged when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|using an Ultrabay battery]].}}

To cancel charging preventation:
:{{cmdroot|echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/inhibit_charge_minutes}}

To force battery discharging (even if connected to AC):
:{{cmdroot|echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/force_discharge}}
{{HINT|This can be used to choose which battery is discharged when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|using an UltraBay battery]].}}

To cancel forced discharge:
:{{cmdroot|echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/force_discharge}}

===Battery status features===
To view extended battery status such as charging state, voltage, current, capacity, cycle count and model information:

<pre>
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/installed
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/state # idle/charging/discharging
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/cycle_count
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/current_now # instantaneous current
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/current_avg # last minute average
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/power_now # instantaneous power
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/power_avg # last minute average
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/last_full_capacity
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_percent
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_running_time
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_charging_time
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_capacity
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/design_capacity
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/voltage
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/design_voltage
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/manufacturer
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/model
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/barcoding
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/chemistry
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/serial
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/manufacture_date
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/first_use_date
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/temperature # in milli-Celsius
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/ac_connected
</pre>

The raw status data is also available, including some fields not listed above (in case you can figure them out):

:{{cmdroot|cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/dump}}

In all of the above, replace <tt>BAT0</tt> with <tt>BAT1</tt> to address the 2nd battery.

Note that the battery status readout conflicts with the stock [[HDAPS|hdaps]] driver, so if you use <tt>hdaps</tt> you will need to load <tt>tp_smapi</tt> using {{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}} (see [[#Bundled hdaps driver|Bundled hdaps driver]] below).

On [[ACPI]]-enabled systems, most of above information is also available through the files under {{path|/proc/acpi/battery}}. However, the ACPI interface does not include the instantaneous power and cycle count readouts, and does not work well when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|hotswapping UltraBay batteries]].

====Scripts====
Some scripts can make it easier to grep the information you need from tp_smapi
* [[battery.rb]]

===Other features===

There is also [[sysfs]] attribute for making direct SMAPI requests to the SM BIOS firmware. Don't touch it unless you really know what you're doing. Example:
# echo '211a 100 0 0' > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/smapi_request; cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/smapi_request
211a 34b b2 0 0 0 'OK'
The "4b" in the 2nd value, converted to decimal, is 75: the current charging stop threshold (stop_charge_thresh).

===Bundled <tt>hdaps</tt> driver===

The tp_smapi package includes a modified version of the <tt>hdaps</tt> Linux kernel driver used by the [[HDAPS]] system. To use <tt>tp_smapi</tt> and <tt>hdaps</tt> concurrently, you '''must''' use the modified version.

To build the modified version, simply append the <tt>HDAPS=1</tt> parameter to the <tt>make</tt> command (see [[#Installation|Installation]] above):
:{{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}}
or
:{{cmdroot|1=make install HDAPS=1}}

If you don't do that, you will not be able to load <tt>tp_smapi</tt> (and its support module <tt>thinkpad_ec</tt>) when <tt>hdaps</tt> is loaded, and vice versa. You can use <tt>rmmod</tt> to switch between these modules.

Note that some of the battery status is also visible through ACPI ({{path|/proc/acpi/battery/*}}), independently of <tt>tp_smapi</tt>.

The modified <tt>hdaps</tt> has several changes:
* The <tt>hdaps</tt> driver in mainline kernels conflicts with the extended battery status (they use the same IO ports). The modified <tt>hdaps</tt> coordinates this access through the bundled <tt>thinkpad_ec</tt> driver.
* The modified <tt>hdaps</tt> driver fixes reliability and improves support for recent ThinkPad models (*60 and newer), since unlike the mainline driver, it correctly follows the Embedded Controller communication protocol.
* Several other improvements, such as the ability to control the polling rate.

===Troubleshooting===
==== <tt>thinkpad_ec: cannot claim io ports 0x1600-0x161f</tt> ====
The "<tt>thinkpad_ec: cannot claim io ports 0x1600-0x161f!</tt>" error happens when loading the <tt>thinkpad_ec</tt> module on some recent ThinkPad models, since the ACPI BIOS DSDT is reserving ports used by tp_smapi.

As a workaround, add the <tt>force_io=1</tt> module parameter to <tt>thinkpad_ec</tt> in {{path|/etc/modprobe.conf}} (or your distribution's equivalent). For transient testing, load the modules as follows:

: {{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1 FORCE_IO=1}}

Note: force_io option was added in tp_smapi v0.40 (released 2008-12-16).

Models which need this option include:
* ThinkPad {{T400}}
* ThinkPad {{T500}}
* ThinkPad {{X200}}

More information:
* http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12221
* http://www.nabble.com/thinkpad_ec-fails-to-load-on-Thinkpad-T500-td19932985.html

==== <tt>thinkpad_ec: no ThinkPad embedded controller!</tt> ====
If you get "<tt>thinkpad_ec: no ThinkPad embedded controller!</tt>" when trying to load the module on a supported model listed below, you should [[BIOS_Upgrade|upgrade your BIOS]]. Some early BIOS (like 1.x on the X31) don't handle the embedded controller.

=====SL series and IdeaPad=====
|-
! colspan=12 style="text-align:left" |
The ThinkPad SL series and IdeaPad series have firmware that is completely different from other ThinkPad models. Neither [[tp_smapi]] nor [[thinkpad-acpi]] support these models.
|}
</div>

SMAPI capabilities may depend on the BIOS version as well, so upgrading to the latest version of the BIOS might provide more SMAPI functions (especially true for long-lived BIOS with lots of releases, like the TP-1R).

Please update the above and report your experience on the [[Talk:tp_smapi|discussion]] page. If the module loads but gives a "<tt>not supported</tt>" or "<tt>not implementeded</tt>" error when you try to use some specific file in {{path|/sys/devices/platform/smapi/}}, please report the <tt>dmesg</tt> output and whether the corresponding functionality is available under Windows - maybe your ThinkPad just can't do that.

While at it, you may also want to add your laptop to the [[list of DMI IDs]].

=====HDAPS axis orientation=====
<sup>1</sup> The HDAPS axis orientation is set using the <tt>invert</tt> module parameter (at load time) or sysfs attribute (at runtime). The <tt>hdaps</tt> driver of tp_smapi supports all 8 possible sensor orientations (inversion and swapping). You can use [[HDAPS#Visualisation_of_ThinkPad_orientation|hdaps visualisation]] to check if the settings is correct.

The <tt>invert</tt> parameter is an integer between 0 and 7, whose meaning is defined below. (This is confusing. Most people will find it easier to just try all 8 possibilities.)

Let <tt>X</tt> and <tt>Y</tt> denote the hardware readouts. Let <tt>R</tt> denote the laptop's roll (tilt left/right), and let <tt>P</tt> denote the laptop's pitch (tilt forward/backward). The possible values are as follows:
invert=0: R= X P= Y (same as mainline)
invert=1: R=-X P=-Y (same as mainline)
invert=2: R=-X P= Y (new)
invert=3: R= X P=-Y (new)
invert=4: R= Y P= X (new)
invert=5: R=-Y P=-X (new)
invert=6: R=-Y P= X (new)
invert=7: R= Y P=-X (new)

===Tools using this driver===

The driver's interface can be accessed directly through the files under {{path|/sys/devices/platform/smapi}}, or via the following tools:
* [[KThinkBat]] - display battery status on the KDE <tt>kicker</tt> panel.
* [[gkrellm-ThinkBat]] - battery status plugin for Gkrellm2
* {{CodeRef|thinkpad-smapi.sh}} - script to display various SMAPI information using tp_smapi module.

==== Notes ====
Sometimes even basic information is hard to find. Here's a place for it.
* Lenovo is having fulfillment problems (2008 Q4). Take estimated ship dates with a grain of salt. Ordering from Lenovo seems to be working better than resellers. Some resellers have yet to receive their first unit. One person I know received an X200 within days (direct, replacing stolen machine), another has been waiting for ~2 months.
* The '''X200T does ''not'' support [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-touch Multi-touch]!'''. "MultiTouch" is Lenovo's misleading way of saying you can use your finger, in addition to a pen. The X200T uses Wacom's no-longer-cutting-edge non-multitouch screen. Only one contact point is available in hardware.
*: Though, hypothetically, you could get two points from a MultiTouch screen, one from finger contact, and one from a stylus hovering over but not touching the screen - they are available in linux as separate devices. It's not clear it's ever been done.
* [[GPS]] - If you have an optional WWAN card (AT&T or Verizon), you have GPS. ''unconfirmed''
* The 5300 normally has 3 x 3 antennas. Adding the webcam reduces this to 2 x 2. ''unconfirmed''
*: Any other conflicts? Bluetooth, etc?
* X200T configured with SSD do '''not''' include the [[Active Protection System]] accelerometer. Despite alternate uses (theft deterrence). Confirmed by Lenovo US sales phone, 2008-10. [[User:Mitchell|Mitchell]] 21:54, 28 October 2008 (CET)
* The [http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=AN&subtype=CA&htmlfid=897/ENUS108-588&appname=lenovous&language=en X200 Tablet Sleeve] supports 4 and 8 cell batteries, but not 9 cell. ''from announcement''
* The X200 does not have a touchpad. For folks who really want one, a somewhat messy possibility ''might'' be [http://www.ergonomictouchpad.com/ergonomic_touchpad.php www.ergonomictouchpad.com] (never used - no endorsement) which looks vaguely like a [http://www.cirque.com/cpages/?page=17 Cirque TSM9925 Touchpad] with velcro and wire added.
* There can be a ''big'' cost difference between preconfigured units from VARs, and custom configured units from shop.lenovo.com, as of 2008-10-31 ([http://alltp.blogspot.com/2008/10/heckuva-deal-on-lenovo-x200-tablet-pc.html examples]).
*: But shipping delays may be even greater than when ordering directly from Lenovo (2008 Q4).
