Build and install thinkpad kernel module:

cd ~/projects
mkdir thinkpad
cd thinkpad
wget http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/tpctl/thinkpad_5.5.tar.gz
tar zxvf thinkpad_5.5.tar.gz
cd thinkpad-5.5/
ln -s 2.6/drivers drivers
ln -s 2.6/include include
make all
sudo make install_modules
cd ..

sudo modprobe thinkpad
sudo mkdir --mode=755 /dev/thinkpad
sudo mknod --mode=664 /dev/thinkpad/thinkpad c 10 170


Install tpctl and configure-thinkpad (--nodeps to ignore the dependency on a packaged thinkpad kernel module)

sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/dag/packages/tpctl/tpctl-4.10-0.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm
tpctl --x

sudo rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/dag/fedora/2/en/i386/dag/RPMS/configure-thinkpad-0.1-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm
configure-thinkpad
