This problem was solved (for me) with the latest IBM bios release,
October 18, bios 1.26, 7KET56WW.  In-X brightness works now via the hw
keys and acpi/ibm/brightness.  Hopefully this solves it for you too.

I still haven't solved the problem where the external USB ports don't
resume properly but the internal USB system (fingerprint and bluetooth)
does, if anyone has any thoughts on that one (usbcore suspend doesn't
seem to affect it, nor does unloading or not unloading the modules, and
it seems to happen from at least 2.6.22 through 2.6.24rc1-wireless-git)

George Orwell got it backward.
Big Brother isn't watching.  He's singing and dancing.  He's pulling rabbits
out of a hat.  Big Brother's busy holding your attention every moment you're
awake.  He's making sure you're always distracted.  He's making sure you're
fully absorbed.
He's making sure your imagination withers.  Until it's as useful as your
appendix.  He's making sure your attention is always filled.
