[Bug 557736] Re: Lenovo X100e: thinkpad_acpi: Not yet supported ThinkPad detected!

[Brian Candler]

There is a good guide on recompiling individual modules here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/554099/comments/14

Unfortunately,
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git;a=blob_plain;f=drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c;hb=HEAD
is not a drop-in replacement for thinkpad_acpi.c with 2.6.32-22-generic source, giving some errors about missing functions and wrong numbers of args.

But I hacked about with it fairly blindly, making the minimum changes to
make it compile with 2.6.32-22 (source attached). Now:

make O=../temp modules SUBDIRS=drivers/platform/x86/

modprobe thinkpad_acpi

gives the following results:

This looks promising. Pressing Fn-F5 enables the bluetooth happily.
