I have a t61 with nvidia which seems to do 16 levels. Didn't upgrade the bios
yet though. The thinkpad acpi seems to report that it is version 0.19 but I
believe I haven't installed that one yet:

$ cat /sys/module/thinkpad_acpi/version 
0.19-20080107

xbacklight doesn't work here at all
$ xbacklight 
No outputs have backlight property
