Ah, now I see. So your patch simply disables video.ko from controlling the
backlight on laptops with buggy BIOS.

Then it's working as intended :)

Unfortunately, thinkpad-acpi is not compatible with the SL series Thinkpads
(their BIOS is a strange hybrid of ThinkPad and IdeaPad), so I guess I will
need to add backlight controls to the SL series hotkey driver I am
intermittently writing...
