[ltp] Re: X61 Brightness Question

Ondrej,

As far as I know, acpid also works on the console (so not only in X).
My guess is that in X you also have some other button event catcher
running? Maybe tpb or kmilo?
Having both acpid and tpb or kmilo run together might be what causes
these problems for you.
