Then I'm stumped. Frankly I didn't think Speedswitch worked for anything newer than a T40/x31 era Centrino system. But either way it doesn't control LCD brightness, and I think the ThinkVantage Power Manager is the only such app that does.

Nope, running under Speedswitch control.  Which is set to Max speed.

You are probably now using the "Maximum Battery Life" profile which defaults to low brightness regardless of if you are running on battery power alone or not. If you switch to a different profile, like the "Maximum Performance" profile, the issue should go away.

If you are using the "Power Source Optimized" profile and are running on battery, it will also start you in low brightness. Plugging into wall power will jump the brightness to full.

If you don't like the unconfigurable settings of the default profiles, you can create your own by clicking the "New" button up top.
