I installed thinkpad-base and tpctl. Now when I run tpctl --x I get
tpctl: System error message is: No such device
tpctl: Can't open device file /dev/thinkpad with flags O_RONLY. Exiting.
ls-l /dev/thinkpad
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root thinkpad 5 Apr 3 07:36 /dev/thinkpad -> smapi
ls -l /dev/smapi
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 10, 170 Apr 3 07:36 dev/smapi
I had X in full screen before the system crash (previous post, can't
start gdm or login as user,).
