Having exactly the same problem in Feisty on my T60p. I rebooted in my old Edgy installation and was surprised to find out that it was worse there. The bar shows about 70% on AC and the brightness keys don't change the brightness.
Note that in both Edgy and feisty, /etc/modprobe.d/ibm_acpi.modprobe contains options ibm_acpi hotkey=enable,0xff9f experimental=1 -- Screen Brightness Little Pop-up window does not show the correct Brightness on a Thinkpad x60 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/71204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
