It's possible. It basically calls ACPI methods used by the code which handles
Fn-F7 and exposes that functionality through a different interface. It's
possible that it's not using some of the low-level methods correctly.

Sammy, can you please try the following: rename or delete the ibm_acpi module
(make sure it doesn't get loaded), reboot, start X with the latest driver and
try Fn-F7. Does it work? If yes, then I can work with you to get it to work with
ibm-acpi (as well as the software switching).
