I have no idea what the thinkpad kernel module does, but it may require some sort of update for X.Org 7.0. Maybe the kernel or mobile team has a clue why it wouldn't work. This is the radeon video driver, not the thinkpad module. Does it work OK if you stop using the out-of-tree thinkpad module?

There is no "thinkpad" module in-kernel - I take it you refer to the ibm_acpi module? When using the radeon X11 driver, you need to add: Option "BIOSHotkeys" "on" to the radeon "Device" section in order to be able to use BIOS hotkeys for switching video output. Please try that - or explain a way to reproduce your problem properly.

If it's reproducible without the thinkpad module loaded then it sounds like an X thing No need for mobile to stay on here, I guess. This is pretty clearly an upstream bug, but I'm going to leave it open here until we can add the new driver releases that are compatible with xorg-server-1.0.99. Could you try xorg-server-1.0.99.901 and xf86-video-ati-6.6.0? Please reply with results and reopen. (In reply to comment #10) > Could you try xorg-server-1.0.99.901 and xf86-video-ati-6.6.0?
