I noticed there are many people here who run thinkpads.
I am the proud owner of a thinkpad for 2 months now and i run arch linux on it togeter with kde4.
But the thing that's bugging me for a 2 days now is that i can't get tp_smapi to work.
I followed the wiki exacty but i get an error if i try to load it
FATAL: Error inserting tp_smapi (/lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/extra/tp_smapi.ko): No such device or address
Now i found this solution: Thinkwiki
But i dont know how to apply this solution on arch linux..
And i also get this error when i try to load the hadps module for thinkpads:
FATAL: Error inserting hdaps (/lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/kernel/drivers/hwmon/hdaps.ko): No such device
But i think that the second error is because tp_smapi doesn't work
Does anyone has any idea how to fix this?

I assume you have installed 2.6.31 kernel.. so you must recompile tp_smapi (just reinstall it from AUR) and everything will be OK

I never have to recompile tp_smapi, however with every new kernel you've got to do the following:
[kuba@t61p ~]\$ cat linux/bin/fix_hdaps.sh
#!/bin/sh
path="/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/"
rm $path/kernel/drivers/hwmon/hdaps.ko
cp $path/extra/hdaps.ko $path/kernel/drivers/hwmon/
/etc/rc.d/hdapsd restart
hdaps module gets bad path by default.
Hope that helps.

I solved the problem by updating my bios to 1.19 (Maybe this is handy to put in the wiki for other t400 users?)
