I guess that's the problem :-(.

But I can tell that is *does* work as a module, at least with 2.6.32.2.
Plus, reading Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi make obvious IMHO, though not explicitly stated, that it is supposed to be built as a module.
For instance 'grep module thinkpad-acpi|wc -l' returns 17 here ;)
And how the 'modprobe' command (founded twice in the same file) is supposed to work with a driver built in the kernel image?
But of course deciding to try that or not is up to you :-)
