Can you please run acpi_listen and then press the Fn-Fx key, see if the
events are correctly sent out?

I got the impression that both the acpi_video interface and the vendor
interface thinkpad_screen are broken. So adding this cmdline here works
suggests that either thinkpad_screen works or thinkpad vendor driver
doesn't get loaded or doesn't create that interface for some reason.

Alternatively, if the intel_backlight interface works(highly possible),
you can use xorg.conf to specify the that backlight interface for X.

Section "Device"
        Option     "Backlight"	"intel_backlight"
	Identifier  "Card0"
	Driver      "intel"
	BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Thanks,
Aaron
