I didn't mean to come across as angry.  I'm not trying to argue right or wrong.
 With this patch and the BIOSHotkeys options set, X not longer messes with the
bios/acpi.  If it still doesn't work, all I can say is that we can rule out X. 
In terms of figuring this out, we should probably ask Borislav if the ibm_acpi
module does something weird with regard to the video bios; perhaps it doesn't
even try switching outputs when X is running, I just don't know.  FWIW, my
laptop is a thinkpad x24, I've just never had the time to try ibm_acpi.
