A patch was initially committed... then rejected. It was concluded that the real solution is for the thinkpad-acpi kernel driver to create an ALSA mixer for the volume level. I agree with this. However, this isn't going to happen until 2.6.25 (at the earliest, and it seems a bit unlikely now).
Would it be possible to get the patch implemented in the ubuntu package as a stop-gap solution for Hardy?
So I think the discussion at http:// bugzilla. gnome.org/ show_bug. cgi?id= 524425 has finished.
