In order to get the mic button to work, you need to copy /lib/udev/keymaps/module-lenovo to /etc/udev/keymaps/ and change the 0x1A line from 'micmute' to 'prog2' (0x13 to 'search' for Fn+Space). Reboot and here we go (tested with kernel v3.2.14-1 and udev v181-9).<br /><br />Was anyone able to get the wlan led working?Corubbanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26970824.post-21904804726498932812012-04-03T21:52:22.470+01:002012-04-03T21:52:22.470+01:00No. Xev doesn't show any response, so I assume...No. Xev doesn't show any response, so I assume that it's an issue perhaps with thinkpad-acpi.

I'm considering starting a WP site on Arch on the X220, since it seems like setting it up is going to be an adventure in itself, and with my current knowledge of Linux, I'm not expecting to get a working machine before a while lol.Aeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342995965734978384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26970824.post-6330011773727188902011-11-03T08:08:19.617+00:002011-11-03T08:08:19.617+00:00Cool..
