One question: is there a good reason to actually have the hotkey
handling for IGD mode directly in thinkpad-acpi?  We don't do it for
Vista BIOS, video.ko doesn't do it either (anymore)... and I would make
it configurable for IBM firmware if I could.
No. There's no reason to have IGD handling in thinkpad-acpi at all.
I haven't seen the video driver on a T61 with Intel card doing proper backlight switching on the correct device yet.

The patch is queued and will be in 2.6.27. It's fine.

I admit I have lost track of the state of these patches. If there's an agreed subset of patches that should go in post .27 via ACPI please resend them for review.

Thanks,
