AFAIK no, this is the only method to control message-led. Even under 
Windows, it's controlled via an utility, the ATK0100.

It depends from the kernel u'r using and ur notebook, I mean, the 
'acpi4asus' (this is the name of this tool) is included in the kernel 
2.4.22, but not in the original kernel 2.4.21. For this last one, u need 
the 'acpi' patch (IIRC from that dated 20030619) or the original 
'acpi4asus' tool from http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi4asus/.

Thx, bye
Gismo / Luca
