of drivers/acpi/ec.c patch fixed the

Do you mean that the full revert of 2c81ce4 that already got committed is sufficient for you, or do you need to totally undo everything we've done to ec.c since -rc5, and thus also to revert the _other_ revert we did (in 4af8e10a6c57e7292862bd1703712f0565c7e429)?
undo everything we've done to ec.c since -rc5... (that has small
sideffect of brightness up/down keys no longer working -- regression
since 2.6.24, but saves us from "backlight gone after
closing/reopening lid" which is _NASTY_ regression from 2.6.25-rc5).
ACPI sucks.
I.e. this patch:
Revert ec.c to 2.6.25-rc5 state:
* this fixes backlight after closing/reopening the lid while in X on
thinkpad x60
* unfortunately it breaks fn-home/end keyboard brightness control
And it would also be regression to 2.6.24 level.
As I explained above.
Unfortunately, applying this means I loose screen as soon as I
close/reopen lid. 2.6.24 did not behave like that. And it makes my
machine mostly unusable -- as soon as you try to carry it away, you
loose video. BAD.
