Well, on my X60 as soon as I load the thinkpad_acpi driver I get: [root@work Code]# modprobe thinkpad_acpi [root@work Code]# cat /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey status: enabled mask: 0x008c7fff commands: enable, disable, reset, <mask> and the brightness keys are disabled. This surprised me, as I thought that the brightness control was done in physical hardware. I have to do: [root@work Code]# echo 0x00ffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey Before I get brightnessup and brightnessdown events which gnome-power-manager handles to change the backlight brightness manually. Maybe 0x00ffffff should be the default make when CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED is defined?
