Confirmed on Thinkpad z61t, attached patch for HAL's .fdi file fixes it for me. Remarks: 1) OSD popup showing current brightness level do not appear (gnome-power-manager bug?) 2) match should be probably extended to all Lenovo Thinkpads, or even wider. 3) there are many more quirks in HAL's cvs -- http://cvsweb.freedesktop.org/hal/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi?view=log they are probably safe to include in Edgy's HAL package, as they only add or change some keys.
