Yeah but using thinkpad-acpi and xmodmaping 212/201 to brightness keys, then
binding them to xbacklight +/-10, I could. xbacklight =0 would shut down the
screen.

The thing is, I don't know how to use those 16 levels. I currently use
xmodmap+wm bindings. (so I could only use (100/16)% increments)
But still, xbacklight =100 was brighter using video.c than using
thinkpad-acpi.
