I think my thinkpad T61 has the third point:
"* machines that have a hardware implementation and can be controlled in
software"
For example, I bought this with SLED10 preinstalled, the brightness keys works
in SLED10 without HAL or gnome-powermanager, it use thinkpad-acpi and not the
video acpi module for control the brightness (But I remember well they only
works in X11).
Now, I'm using openSUSE 11, has blacklisted the 'video' acpi module, forced
'thinkpad-acpi' to control the brightness, I cannot use the brightness keys but
I can change the brightness with 'xbacklight' or HAL (kpowersaved also can
change the brightness if the profile has set a brightness level); the default
kernel of openSUSE 11.0 brings the 0.19 version of thinkpad-acpi).
I have compiled in openSUSE11.0 the kernel from factory, it brings
thinkpad-acpi v0.21, but is the same behavior.
In kubuntu 8.10, as I said before, I think the brightness keys works and the
brighness control is made by the 'video' acpi kernel module, it brings
thinkpad-acpi 0.21.
