hi,

i tried Lucid lynx x64 on a thinkpad T410.

the display worked well while using the default installation.

but when nvidia drivers  following packages were installed (nvidia-173-modaliases, nvidia-common) for the graphic card.
after this the following problems were noticed:
 - dimming of display did not work anymore
 - display would shift between highest and lowest brightness

after de-installing the above packages it left the xorg.conf with nvidia as the driver which rendered the laptop with a black display completely dead.
this problem can be easily solved by booting with a liveCD and renaming the offending /etc/X11/xorg.conf to something else but less tech user will probably fail here.

hope you get to fix this problems,

thanks,

Nicolas
