Before I do anything here I want to understand if this problem is really
related to the thinkpad-acpi module or is a generic acpi issue (again!).

I set THINKPAD_ACPI_VIDEO=n, following this option's help suggestion
("If you can use X.org's RandR ... don't think twice: do it and say N").
Thus (?) I don't have /sys/class/backlight/thinkpad_screen/, but I do
have /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 and I can control the
brightness level from there. So, is this control related to
thinkpad-acpi at all?

Until 2.6.30 kernels (included) the brightness level was retained after
the resume.

Yes: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML, and I'm using KMS.

Let me know.
