** Description changed:

  When I un-plug the external VGA cable from my Thinkpad X200s, the screen
  dims.  Hitting Fn-Home (the brightness-increase key) does nothing.
  Suspending and resuming doesn't reset this, though a reboot will allow
  me to use the brightness controls again while in the POST and after.
  
  My current workaround is that every time I disconnect the monitor, I
  have to C-M-F1 to get to a virtual console, brighten the screen, and
  then M-left to get back to X.
