I tested it the following way:
- 2.6.29
- all patches from Mattia send for rc1 and rc2
- the module from your email
- boot and start x as ususal
- *after* starting X I loaded the module

Output:
[ 2120.435908] nvidia-control: hardware status gave 0x801f
and it seems that the Stamina LED did light up (I don't remeber whether
it was on before).

Anything else I can test?

Best wishes

Norbert
