    Well, that at least confirms that thinkpad-acpi doesn't have anything to
    do with your troubles, you were using acpi video.

    While the problem isn't fixed, you can try forcing thinkpad-acpi to
    provide a backlight interface and use that (docs in
    Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt). But you get to keep both pieces
    if that causes the kernel or X.org's GPU drivers to blow up in pieces when
    the SMBIOS messes with the GPU behind their backs.
