Hi,
I have a backport 2.6.27.x custom kernel installed on my 11.0 system,
running KDE 4.3. I've noticed that the Thinkpad (mine's R61/R61i)
brightness control does not work through the keypad. I can change it
through the Powerdevil battery manager. I have the right options put
in for brightness control in /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi. The dmesg
output for thinkpad_acpi is :-

thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.21
thinkpad_acpi: http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/
thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS 7OET24WW (1.03 ), EC 7KHT22WW-1.06
thinkpad_acpi: Lenovo ThinkPad R61/R61i, model 8937A13
thinkpad_acpi: radio switch found; radios are enabled
thinkpad_acpi: This ThinkPad has standard ACPI backlight brightness
control, supported by the ACPI video driver
thinkpad_acpi: Disabling thinkpad-acpi brightness events by default...
thinkpad_acpi: setting the hotkey mask to 0x00ffffff is likely not the
best way to go about it
thinkpad_acpi: please consider using the driver defaults, and refer to
up-to-date thinkpad-acpi documentation
