The Lenovo X1 Carbon is gaining populairty as it's easily one of the
prettiest alternatives to the McBook Air.

For a while, I thought the keyboard backlight couldn't be controlled
through tpacpi, period. After asking a question <
http://askubuntu.com/questions/383501/> I got an interesting answer:

The keyboard backlight can in fact be turned off using the following
command:
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/tpacpi\:\:thinklight/brightness
It's just that it cannot be turned /on/, which is what I am trying to do.

I can't be certain, but if the current tpacpi can turn the light off, it
gives me the impression that turning it on is just a bugfix away.

I cannot find an issuetracker for Github or Sourceforce, so I thought maybe
one of the devs (is that still Henrique de Moraes Holschuh AKA Hmh?) will
read this.
