This is a huge mess.
Let me describe the problem:
The ThinkPad Module specific solution does not work anymore for T60/T61 and
similar (R6X/Z6X/...), the solution for T60 family (which we added) is a very
ugly workaround that should not exist. The Hardware is poked directly instead
making use of the specified functions and the amount of brightness levels is
hardcoded to 7 (but there are e.g. 15 levels for T61), this all is a mess.
There is a Modul (video driver) which supports all this as defined by spec.
T60/T61 also supports this (one has reported the video Modul working, it did
not for Andreas, maybe it does if thinkpad module has not written on the HW
directly). But we cannot make use of this as the brightness control between
both driver would interfere and we need the ThinkPad Modul for docking and the
bay.
If this is not critical, I like to close this won't fix at the moment. People
will start on fixing up video Modul pretty soon I expect as this seem to be
used in Vista, but it's definitely too late for 10.3.
-> Closing for now.
