It was called ibm-acpi until a few weeks ago, then it
changed for F7 too.
The path also changed and that causes a problem because
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit doesn't load the module.
The new path is:
/lib/modules/$unamer/kernel/drivers/misc/thinkpad_acpi.ko
But the loading script does this:
# Initialize ACPI bits
if [ -d /proc/acpi ]; then
for module in /lib/modules/$unamer/kernel/drivers/acpi/* ; do
module=${module##*/}
module=${module%.ko}
modprobe $module >/dev/null 2>&1
done
fi
I noticed because some gkrellm temperature readings (gkibm-acpi) are
unavailable without the module.
