I think I have the same or very similar problem. When using the netbook from battery, and it tries to switch back to energy saving mode the screen brightness rapidly changes between thje original and energy saving levels. during 10-15s. In this period, it is not possible to use the mouse or keyboard, except for swtiching to terminal. The terminal reported "ACPI: failed to switch brightness" Which files do you need to address this?
