#9 Support for xe4500's mute LED

[Thomas Perl]

I've always wanted to control my XE4500's "audio mute"
LED and misuse it as an e-mail indicator :) Having
spent quite some time figuring out how HP's Windows
OneTouch utility switches on and off the LED and
studying the omnibook kernel module source code, I've
found it's quite easy to switch the LED on and off. It
works just like enabling/disabling the OneTouch
buttons. I've put together a dirty patch to create a
new proc entry /proc/omnibook/muteled, to which you can
echo "1" or "0" to switch the LED on and off.

Patch can be found here:

Would be happy if this could be included in some future
omnibook kernel module release. Any feedback welcome, too..

It works also for HP Compaq nx9010. In fact, it may work
with most Pavillons and Compaqs, since they share the same
components.
