pidgin-blinklight not working with thinkpad_acpi (T430)

I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 on my ThinkPad T430 and want to use the pidgin-blinklight plugin. The plugin says it needs ibm-acpi , but that's depricated as far as I can tell, and thinkpad_acpi is loaded by default on my machine: $ sudo lsmod| grep acpi thinkpad_acpi 81222 0 Is there a way to get it working with thinkpad_acpi instead of the ibm one?
