I have a Thinkpad X61 Tablet model, I get the following results:

/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness lists 7 levels, if I set from 0 to 7, it goes
from dark to about half-bright. Luckily the Fn-keys set the brightness
to full (no matter if you go up or down ;-)

If I'm not mistaken it should be 15, right?

I'm running 2.6.23-rc9, and I've skipped testing 0.16 release. Should I
check it out too?
