This used to work for me some time ago (I would say January) along with
the bluetooth radio control button (Fn-F5) and the ThinkLight (Fn-PgUp).
I started using acpi_ibm.ko, which exposes all of this functionality
through sysctl and lost button control for everything but ThinkLight. At
that time sysctl were more important for me then buttons, so I did not
worry about it too much. With -CURRENT from March 8, I could not get
brightness control back even if I do not load acpi_ibm.ko

Since, unlike yours, my X60 is the 32-bit machine, I am tracking
i386-CURRENT. Taking that into account, I do not know how useful stuff
above really is.
