In fact, on my T61, the mute button is non-functional. I've discovered that turning the volume all the way down turns on the mute indicator in GNOME, but it would be nice if the mute button actually toggled mute the way it's designed to.
I'd like to file this as a bug, but I'm not sure what component to file it against. Suggestions welcome.
TIA.
Interesting - my T61 has a functioning mute button.
I think you need to update your BIOS. I got this from the Lenovo ChangLog for the T61 BIOS.
- (Fix) (ThinkPad T61/T61p only) Volume and mute buttons on the
keyboard do not work on Linux.
That was in version 1.26-1.06. They're much beyond that now.
Ooh, that's a great idea. I updated, but it didn't help.
Forgot to check the version, but dmidecode now reports BIOS 2.38 and Firmware 1.8.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.
