The ACPI video module acts a bit funny on my R61 (nvidia) anyway. ~ $ ls /proc/acpi/video/ VID/ VID/ (Twice the same entry) $ cat /proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD0/brightness levels: 100 100 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 100 current: 0 While this works perfectly (read and control): $ cat /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness level: 14 commands: up, down commands: level <level> (<level> is 0-15) So i'd prefer to have the thinkpad specific control available even if theres generic acpi/video.
