Inside of /proc/acpi/ibm, I see multiple devices provided by kernel module thinkpad_acpi,



x230:/proc/acpi/ibm$ ls
beep bluetooth cmos driver fan hotkey kbdlight led light video volume


Is there anyway though that I can change the status of the ThinkLight? If I echo 0 on > light, I can address and turn on the power light, but the rest of those [1-15] seem to register as invalid. What controls the Thinklight?



$ echo heartbeat | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/tpacpi::thinklight/trigger
tee: '/sys/class/leds/tpacpi::thinklight/trigger': Invalid argument


Interestingly enough this seems to follow this post, where the light can be turned off with,



echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/tpacpi::thinklight/brightness 


but not turned on again



I'm using Debian Testing with Kernel 4.19, on a Lenovo x230.
