Umerging and reopening since I still have this problem. Not sure if it's 
a kernel or X.org problem though!

Update: the on-screen display is now stuck at 42%.

I am now running kernel 2.6.24-rc4 with xserver-xorg-core 
2:1.4.1~git20071119-1, xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.2.0-1 and 
thinkpad-acpi 0.18-20071203 (from patch):

thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.18-20071203
thinkpad_acpi: http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/
thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS 7CETC7WW (2.17 ), EC 7CHT21WW-1.09
thinkpad_acpi: Lenovo ThinkPad R60
thinkpad_acpi: radio switch found; radios are enabled
thinkpad_acpi: standard ACPI backlight interface available, not loading 
native one...

It doesn't matter if I set the brightness_enable=1 option to thinkpad-acpi.
