Fine, I just wanted to spread the word ;-).

The acpi generic one seems to work basically, but seems to have some 
problems with it's levels, i.e. if I go up two levels and down again, 
brightness ist slightly different than before.

Apart from that, I have some scripts that work against thinkpad-acpi and I 
was too lazy to change them ;-).
