I'm seeing this in Hardy 8.04 on my X60, with and without AC power.
(Each mode has a different max brightness level, but neither is
attainable.)

- The max brightness setting in the Power Manager Brightness Applet 
(gnome-power-manager) is lower than the actual max brightness.
- Pressing the Fn+Home (brightness up) key causes the screen to briefly flash 
full brightness but immediately return to gnome-power-manager's false max 
brightness.
- True max brightness can be temporarily achieved with the command "echo 4 > 
/proc/acpi/ibm/cmos" but any subsequent brightness control via 
gnome-power-manager returns it to the false max brightness.

I don't know what this means in terms of what's happening on a lower
level. (I'm just an end-user who happens to be more productive when out
in the sun.)
