The only change that these patches may have applied to the thinklight is the keyboard combination used to activate it.

By default, these patches remap the keyboard layout - did you turn off that patchset or install an xx20 keyboard in your x230?

It is always possible to revert the software changes included in this patchset, just follow the instructions in the docs/CONFIG.md to disable both patchsets and build then install a new image.

Thanks, I figured the keyboard patch was not default.

Do I execute make patch_enable_keyboard clean after make patched.x230.img?

First, do any configure options, then build the patched image to include those configured options
