Can the LEDs on the new Thinkpad T-series be controlled by software?
The function keys are enabled by default on the new T440s. 99% of time I just use them in the fn-lock mode
to get their "old" functions (F1-F12 keys).
This is also the default mode that my system boots into, so no problems there. I'd just like to be able to
control that LED if possible, either reverse the on/off states or turn it off completely. Same with the red LED
in the ThinkPad logo on the lid.
Is this possible?
