I'm using a Thinkpad T42.

This patch solves the issue for thinkpads using thinkpad_acpi.

On Ubuntu 9.04 this causes an issue with wrong notifications when changing brightness. Gnome-power-manager reads the brightness value through hal, thus always showing the last value writen to 'brightness', even though the brightness lvel actually might be higher or lower, if controlled thru hardwired brightness control.

Please apply this simple patch.
