I tried adding "options thinkpad_acpi brightness_enable=1" to /etc/modprobe.d/options and reloading the module, I also tried reloading the module with that option specified on the modprobe command, however neither approach seems to fix the problem for me. When I do "xset dpms force off" (the command to turn off the screen) the screen still returns at minimum brightness. Do I need to reboot for this to take effect?
