I can confirm this behaviour. After command: $ cat /proc/acpi/ibm/video In gnome-terminal, tty1 and even in single mode I have same: - black screen - non working keyboard (even SysRq comands)
I have similar ThinkPad as original bug reporter: $ dmesg | grep -i think [ 8.461151] thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.23 [ 8.461155] thinkpad_acpi: http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/ [ 8.461158] thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS 1WET90WW (2.10 ), EC 1VHT28WW-1.04 [ 8.461161] thinkpad_acpi: IBM ThinkPad R50e, model 1834JAG [ 8.467157] Registered led device: tpacpi::thinklight [ 8.469216] thinkpad_acpi: brightness: will use unverified default: brightness_mode=3 [ 8.469220] thinkpad_acpi: brightness: please report to [email protected] whether it works well or not on your ThinkPad [ 8.469928] input: ThinkPad Extra Buttons as /devices/virtual/input/input8 [ 12.998886] thinkpad_ec: thinkpad_ec 0.40 loaded.
