Adding more information, I added ibm-acpi to my /etc/modules so my thinkpad is fully acpi-functional and guess what? The brightness is not modified anymore!. I suspect that without ibm-acpi, acpid or something else was giving/reading bogus values about AC or battery and so the display kept dimming. Right now I don't have the problem.
If the problem is the missing ibm-acpi module, how could we fix this? Should this be considered a mistake in the way the x driver decides to dim the screen and hence the way it's reading the info needed for this decision? or maybe this is more a acpid or acpi-support friends bug? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
