For users of Intel Embedded Graphics on ANY thinkpad that does not respond do
thinkpad-acpi brightness_mode=1 (pure EC control), which includes the T61:

Repeat after me:
 * I am to use X.org native backlight control!
 * I am to use X.org native backlight control!
 * I am to use X.org native backlight control!
 * I am to use X.org native backlight control!...

ad nauseum.

Current versions of X.org **enforces** this.  It tells the BIOS to stop
controlling the backlight levels, in a much lower level than even the ACPI
interface.

Using ACPI won't help.  Using thinkpad-acpi might (and I doubt it), but you are
on your own if X.org decides to not like it and hard-crash your box.

So, use X.org native backlight control on the T61 with Intel graphics.  Thank
you.
