Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
Changing the screen brightness with Fn+Home/End on a Thinkpad X60s makes the screen go blank, and you need to restart X to get it back (console works).
a workaround is to blacklist 'video.o' from loading and reboot:

and it seems to be a kernel bug.

Saw something about this on LKML, will track and update status.
