1117You can use the volume_capabilities parameter to tell the driver
1118whether your thinkpad has volume control or mute-only control:
1119volume_capabilities=1 for mixers with mute and volume control,
1120volume_capabilities=2 for mixers with only mute control.
1121
1122If the driver misdetects the capabilities for your ThinkPad model,
1123please report this to ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, so that we
1124can update the driver.
