Thanks, Brandon! Excerpts from Brandon J.

Current Linux acpi_ibm driver does provide control over all ThinkPad LEDs, and IIRC FreeBSD on my old T61 did too (8 years or so ago). > Try booting the latest 10-STABLE or 11-CURRENT snapshot and seeing Yes, I'm using 11-CURRENT now. So I'm thinking it might be not so hard to add those regs from Linux code to FreeBSD. Cheers, Sergey
