You have to use 15 (or 16? I forget) on T61, X61, R61, X60(I think)... for maximum brightness :-p And the interface to get maximum brightness has always been to cat max_brightness > brightness, AFAIK. > My /sys/class/backlight/ directory is presently empty.

It defaults to brightness_enable=0 on Lenovo 16-brightness level boxes, where the right thing to do is to control brightness using the X.org drivers or through the ACPI brightness driver. But I have no idea why it is empty re. the ACPI video driver. > Guys, sort it out, please. I am reading this ML with eyes fully open.
