Hello,
I have similar problem with my X60s. I can regulate brightness only in console.
In X11 when I'm pushing Fn+Home/End screen only "blinks" with same brightness
level. When I do `echo "level N" > /proc/acpi/ibm/brightnes` level will change -
but I need to regulate it familiary - using buttons. 

I've watched & followed this thread. Here I killed acpid and buttons started
working also under X11. Where is problem - I need run acpid to handle other
events. So how I can run working brightness control and acpid together ?

Thanks for any advice.
Best regards,
blami.
