I've been struggling with brightness control on R61 (which is quite similar
to T61 in terms of hardware). VESA driver works, but it has one "small"
glitch - I wasn't able to set bigger resolution than 1280x1024, even
modeline didn't help. Can you outline how did you convinced VESA driver to
cooperate and set resolution to 1680x1050?
Thanks a lot, Peter

<p>I've been struggling with brightness control on R61 (which is quite similar to T61 in terms of hardware). VESA driver works, but it has one "small" glitch - I wasn't able to set bigger resolution than 1280x1024, even modeline didn't help.
