Conflict between OSSv4 and thinkpad_acpi in 2.6.33
With the new Kernel release the thinkpad_acpi module was reworked to use ALSA for its volume subsystem. Therefore it now depends on the snd module, which prevents OSSv4 from working. The CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_ALSA_SUPPORT flag would allow disabling this, but it is set to "y" in kernel26.
My question is now, is there a way short of recompiling the whole kernel to change this setting? (e.g. compiling only the module in question)

Ya you would have recompile your kernel.
Take a look at this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … rom_Source

I had hoped for a way to compile only the module, so that I would be able to continue using the stock kernel.

Re: Conflict between OSSv4 and thinkpad_acpi in 2.6.33
Try that from the kernel src root.
make CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI=m CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_VIDEO=y CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_HOTKEY_POLL=y CONFIG_SND=n CONFIG_RFKILL=y M=drivers/platform/x86pyther@tux: ls drivers/platform/x86/*.ko ~/builds/linux-2.6.33-ck1
drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.koYou might be missing rfkill features as the documentation states
Extra functionality will be available if the rfkill (CONFIG_RFKILL)
and/or ALSA (CONFIG_SND) subsystems are available in the kernel.
Note that if you want ThinkPad-ACPI to be built-in instead of
modular, ALSA and rfkill will also have to be built-in.
Guide I used to figure out how to do this: http://www.g-loaded.eu/2005/12/20/build … el-module/
