Problem isolation procedure fror brightness problems: 1. Is the BIOS a 2.x version? If it is, make sure you are running the latest version first, please. 2a. Boot machine in single user mode, do NOT change brightness in any way yet. 2b. rmmod video, modprobe ibm-acpi (if not loaded), make sure HAL is not running. 2c. test brightness keys and /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness functionality. It should work just fine, from reports of some X60 owners. 2d. modprobe video 2e. test brightness keys and /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness It is expected to break in weird ways. If it does, blacklist video. If it doesn't, please tell me so. 2f. rmmod video again, make sure brightness keys are working fine, or just reboot into single user mode again, and make sure video is not loaded. 3. load up HAL, and *only* HAL (not gnome) 4. test brightness functionality. Do they work fine? 5. load up gnome 6. test brightness functionality. Test gnome-p-m. Does it work? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
