Hi Christopher,

I am sorry for the delay, seems like I did not read my email for over
two weeks...

I have just tested with "Ubuntu 16.10 "Yakkety Yak" - Alpha amd64
(20161008)".  No changes and exactly the same dialogs as described in
the original report.

I have also updated the desktop to 16.10 (alpha), no improvement either.

Let me know how how can I help further.  This regression is really
annoying... I have to go through grub and BIOS settings each time I am
taking the notebook off the docking station.


As a workaround I had to disable optimus in BIOS.  That also requires putting 
the following line into /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="thinkpad-acpi.brightness_enable=1 
acpi_backlight=vendor"
Otherwise the machine hangs at boot in kernel. These kernel parameters need to 
be removed each time I switch BIOS to internal graphics in order to get 
reasonable battery life.
