I have a T61 with the same video, although my wireless is the 4965. I
cannot get the brightness to work without going to the command line
either. I have followed the Ubuntu threads on this and I haven't heard
of anyone else succeeding either.

Same here, but I did discover that it works if I close the lid instead
of doing Fn-F4. That is, if I close the lid it suspends, and when I
open the lid it restores correctly. If I use Fn-F4 it suspends
correctly, but I cannot get it back. According to the instructions from
Lenovo to restore you just hit Fn, but that does not work. I have to
shut down with the power switch and restart.
