-This is a Linux ACPI driver for the ThinkPad laptops written by Borislav Deianov, and currently maintained by [[User:hmh|Henrique de Moraes Holschuh] 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.

 ==Thinkpad-specific ACPI driver==
-This is a Linux ACPI driver for the IBM ThinkPad laptops written by Borislav Deianov and Henrique de Moraes Holschuh. 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 [[tpb]] utility.
