Great! I am happy to hear it works not only on my machine :)

Very interesting. Could you please tell me:
* the version of your kernel, hal, and your xorg driver
* what SL model you have (300/400/500)
* intel or nvidia graphics
* BIOS version (if you know)
* are you using a custom DSDT table
* are you using the kernel's ACPI video driver (video.ko,
CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO), and if yes, did you apply any patches to that
driver
* the contents of /sys/class/backlight
* the output of
cat /sys/class/backlight/thinkpad_screen/max_brightness
* the output of
lshal | grep system.hardware | grep -vE 'serial|uuid'
