Public bug reported: At the beginning, I have the following four problems:
1. After every boot, the brightness is set to maximum. 2. The brightness can't be adjusted smoothly. Only 4 brightnesses can be achieved with Fn keys. 3. After recovering from dimming, the brightness is set to maximum. 4. The following error message is printed during the boot: [ 12.843633] thinkpad_acpi: Unsupported brightness interface, please contact ibm-acpi-de...@lists.sourceforge.net The following workaround fixes 1 for me. http://askubuntu.com/questions/151651/brightness-is-reset-to-maximum-on-every-restart I add "acpi_backlight=vendor" kernel parameter according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight. This fixes 2 and 3 for me. But 4 still exists.
