Some clarification for all. I think this went a bit confusing:
2.6.27-10: will have acpi and vendor backlight active
2.6.27-11: started to use only one of those (mostly because acer and sony vendor drivers are incorrect)
2.6.27-11.*smb: should behave like 2.6.27-10 by default

So when 2.6.27-10 worked for anyone, my test kernels should work the
same. If -11 worked it has to be tweaked.

@Olivier, when I verified the module option te result was the acpi video module did not get loaded at all. This could explain that adding the module option help but not why it makes a difference to say vendor or video. After all in both cases the modules should not get loaded.
Regardless of this, I just noticed your laptop is a T61. In which case it told me my last patch was also rubbish since it should have detected this and have forced it to the right behavior. Let me try to fix this. I post back as soon as I get the kernels up.
