It wouldn't surprise me if that were the case.  I've had some pretty 
weird firmware related issues with other Lenovo systems before (like the 
brightness hot-keys causing the reported trip points for ACPI thermal 
zones to temporarily change).

I've rebuilt the kernel I'm using with everything I can think of 
possibly depending on the CSM compiled out or as modules, so I'll 
hopefully have some more info soon.
