Same with the first call. > I made a typo :( Change the second call from _BCL to _BCM. The first call _BCL would "trapdoor" a thinkpad, and it returns an unknown object type 4. Acpi call has some formatting options to display this "object", it's usually (or should be) a list of valid backlight levels. The second call should set the value. _BQC will return the current value. If that does not work, also try replacing PEG0 with PEG1. Matt
