	Guess the iPhone commericialized in a big way first. Would be great if a ThinkPad display driver could detect rotation of the laptop and optionally rotate the display accordingly. Great for long wiki pages! ;-)		Guess the iPhone commericialized in a big way first.

		+	Actually, it is not the display driver that needs to do that, just the "tablet buttons" driver. I guess it would be more easy

 What do all the parameters in the table mean?

		+	== Table parameters ==
		+
		+	What do all the parameters in the table mean?
		+
		+	'Thinkpad' is obvious. Perhaps 'Model' makes more sense.
		+
		+	'bios firmware' is also obvious, but the output of {{cmdroot\|biosdecode}} calls it 'BIOS Build ID'. It should probably say how to determine the firmware version.
		+
		+	What are 'latch' and 'flip'?
		+
		+	'Value at 1.75' is explained below. How useful is it that the tilt be ''exactly'' 1.75 radians (and not 1.74 for example). Also, 1.75 radians between what and what? Between a flat surface and the keyboard? Or between a flat surface and the LCD when the LCD is perpendicular to the keyboard?
		+
		+	Same question for 'Value at 0.75'
		+
		+	I just added 'Value at rest'. By that, I mean when the tablet is resting on its base on a flat surface. LCD position is immaterial. Keyboard - flat-surface angle is 0.
		+
		+	What is 'boxers'?
		+
		+	'hdd-type' I believe HDD model number from {{cmdroot\|hdparm -I /dev/sda}}. It should be clarified.
		+
		+	In the second table, 'firmware', I believe, refers to the HDD firmware. This is the result of the 'Firmware Revision' value from {{cmdroot\|hdparm -I /dev/sda}}
		+
		+	As for 'parked', there probably is a way to tell whether or not it gets parked. I haven't looked into it.
