I don't know about X61s but on T61 with intel graphics there are two way to use the brightness key, depending on the value of /sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled If it's Y, the kernel is in charge. Currently it doesn't work (on 2.6.26-rc7). I once made a rebuild with debugging info and some printk added, and I saw that keys were correctly sent to the video module, but brightness wasn't correctly set. Wether I was in X or not. If it's N, the kernel has nothing to do with it, it skips the processing and pass the stuff to userspace, where it can be used by gnome-power-manager, for example. Using gnome-power-manager works here, as long as I set N in brightness_switch_enabled. I don't use g-p-m so I'd prefer if this stuff would be handled in the kernel, but I don't currently know another way. You can see how this stuff is handled in the kernel looking at http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/cgi-bin/lxr/source/drivers/acpi/video.c#L1864 Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis
