Hrnf, the brightness code merge was delayed for some reason, and will go in
in 2.6.33 (not 2.6.32). Ubuntu can backport it easily if they want, it is
available in the releases at ibm-acpi.sf.net, and also in my thinkpad-acpi
git trees. Previous Ubuntu kernels had thinkpad-acpi backports, so it is
not unlikely they will do that backport.
