That's not entirely correct. The ThinkPad T430 has both a ThinkLight and a keyboard backlight. Pressing Fn-Space toggles between 4 states: Both Off -> Backlight Low -> Backlight High -> ThinkLight On (BL Off) I tested out your patch and observed the following behavior (printing brightness initially and on POLLPRI): # Initial state with both lights off. tpacpi::kbd_backlight/brightness: 0 tpacpi::thinklight/brightness: 0 # Press Fn-Space. KBD Backlight comes on low. tpacpi::kbd_backlight/brightness: 1 # Press Fn-Space. KBD Backlight brightens to high. tpacpi::kbd_backlight/brightness: 2 # Press Fn-Space. KBD Backlight turns off. ThinkLight turns on. tpacpi::kbd_backlight/brightness: 0 # Press Fn-Space. ThinkLight turns off. tpacpi::kbd_backlight/brightness: 0 It works, but the behavior is not quite what I would hope for. There are no poll events for tpacpi::thinklight/brightness and when the ThinkLight turns off it triggers an unnecessary tpacpi::kbd_backlight/brightness poll event. If there is anything else I can do to assist, let me know.
