I have seen a few tools around, I believe ThinkWiki knows about most. I
prefer the tried and true echo foo > /sys/..., though. I have been burned
once too many by crapplets... so I don't pay much attention to them.
We really should be working on porting SMAPI to hwmon and the power_supply
class, but it is best if I don't write any direct code for tp_smapi for
reasons I am not able to disclose... and Shem has been quite busy lately.

I think it would be nice to engage the linux-thinkpad ML community in a
"getting started with Linux in your thinkpad" page on ThinkWiki, and then
have the URL to THAT posted to various user lists.
BTW: please join the linux-thinkpad ML, it is really a great place to
enhance your thinkpad experience :)
