Can you get the ThinkPad to increase brightness using the keyboard in Linux? This used to be done automatically by the BIOS, so you can test this with ibm-acpi unloaded. If you can, please send me the output of "cat /dev/nvram" just before, and right after an increase and decrease in brightness done using the fn keys, and also just before, and right after an increase and decrease in brightness using the cmos ibm-acpi commands. > > 2.

Does it go away if you set the ibm-acpi hotkey mask to 0x00 (it should) ? Video LCD0 0x86 0x0 is new, but there is nothing wrong with it... it is "brightness up" (ACPI Spec 3.0a, page 577 and 582). WTF does the ThinkPad ACPI BIOS does not generate events for brightness down is anyone's guess (I think we may be missing something important in ibm-acpi, but that's a *very* long standing issue, if true). But here's something I expect might shed light on the issue: Video FOO 0x86 is trapped, and acted upon by the standard generic ACPI video module! Please disable it (remove video.o module, or recompile kernel without ACPI_VIDEO), and tell me what happens :-) -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
