Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I believe the patch to fix the issue you are seeing was released in the 2.6.23-rc4 mainline kernel. I am re-assigning this bug to the ubuntu kernel-team for their consideration to backport this fix to the 2.6.22 Gutsy kernel. Relevant info provided below:

ACPI: work around duplicate name "VID" problem on T61
This can only fix the problem that more than one video bus device acpi/video/ VID1/.. .
have the same AML name "VID".
ie. the proc I/F for the second "VID" video bus device is located under
/proc/
As this is really rare and the ACPI proc I/F is a legacy feature that
we are planning to remove.
We won't provide a generic solution for this problem.
