1. open a console and start the following command to monitor log files:

2. open a second console and run modprobe in verbose mode:
$ sudo modprobe -v thinkpad_acpi
3. post the output of modprobe both the the console and to the log files here
I have T420 with NV4000 graphics
here is the output :
Code:
# tail -n0 -f /var/log/syslog /var/log/dmesg /var/log/kern.log
