[Tpctl-users] tpctl and ThinkPag G40

[Igor N. <nik...@gm...>]

Hello tpctl-list,

I have some questions about the tpctl and the ThinkPad G40.

Im running Debian testing/unstable mix, with a 2.6.6 kernel (a very
stripped down knoppix install)

I installed the debian packages with tpctl (which is, I belive up to
date with the sourceforge ones)

There are a number of functions I can not get to work, and I was
wondering whether this is a misconfiguration on my part, or are these 
limitations of the machine.


This is all I can get out of it. No hibernate, suspend or any of that
fancy stuff.
Any hints, or should I just give up, and use it as a desktop
replacement ( as it is probably meant to be used)
If there is anything else I should try, pleas let me know

Greetings
Igor

here are a number of outputs (you can also consider it as an install report :)
