Both of you, please test the single-mode boot, ACPI video NOT loaded, like this: 1. make sure just thinkpad-acpi/ibm-acpi is loaded, and that ACPI video is NOT loaded. When loading ibm-acpi/thinkpad-acpi, use the experimental=1 parameter (so that you get the ecdump facility). Use the keys to increase and decrease brightness. Look in the output of /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump to find out what EC register is changing. Is it EC register 0x31? > [ 128.164000] BUG: at fs/proc/generic.c:732 remove_proc_entry() > [ 128.164000] [<c01ad1a5>] remove_proc_entry+0x1a5/0x1b0 > [ 128.164000] [<f8b4109a>] acpi_video_bus_remove_fs+0x65/0x73 [video] > [ 128.164000] [<f8b41469>] acpi_video_bus_remove+0x3a/0x55 [video] > [ 128.164000] [<c0228ceb>] acpi_bus_unregister_driver+0x3b/0xa1 > [ 128.164000] [<f8b428d2>] acpi_video_exit+0xa/0x1a [video] > [ 128.164000] [<c0145dca>] sys_delete_module+0x12a/0x190 > [ 128.164000] [<c02f07bf>] do_page_fault+0x33f/0x5f0 > [ 128.164000] [<c01031f0>] sysenter_past_esp+0x69/0xa9 Crap. Just move video.ko to video.ko-old or somesuch and reboot, so that you really get rid of it. That way, you can be really sure it didn't load, as it is apparently buggy as all heck. > [ 123.712000] set_level status: 0 > [ 123.880000] set_level status: 0 > [ 124.060000] set_level status: 0 > [ 125.216000] set_level status: 0 > [ 125.464000] set_level status: 0 > [ 125.612000] set_level status: 0 > > This is also present in the 2.6.20 output. I do *not* recall ibm-acpi or thinkpad-acpi ever printing these. Either it is ACPI video, or you are using a modified version of ibm-acpi/thinkpad-acpi. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
