hdaps doesn't work on Thinkpad R61

[John Leach]

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

john@dogen:~$ sudo modprobe hdaps
FATAL: Error inserting hdaps (/lib/modules/2.6.22-12-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/hdaps.ko): No such device

dmesg output:
[ 1073.448000] hdaps: supported laptop not found!
[ 1073.448000] hdaps: driver init failed (ret=-19)!

The Lenovo marketing bumpf assures me this laptop does indeed have the hdaps hardware.

Bug #133636 sounds similar but for the Thinkpad T61P and was fixed in version 2.6.22-11.32 according to the changelog.

I sure I speak for hundreds of thousands of other R61 owners in saying that it's quite critical I get to play Neverball by wiggling my laptop around until I get bored after 5 minutes, so I'd love to see this supported. I'm sure you'll do all you can to help in our plight. Thank you.

This should be fixed already.

My bad I looked at the wrong one.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
