X201 screen dimming

Actually, it's not just dimming. On battery power, the contrast will slowly get washed out as the screen dims, then it will recover somewhat. It is highly annoying, although I suppose this is a power-saving feature designed to bludgeon me into happy acceptance of different settings.

How do I turn it off? I can't find the setting. I'm sorry if this is a newbie question.

After reading the following, I set the screen resolution while on battery power, using the graphics properties, to 60 Hz, and disabled the indicated "power saving" feature in graphics properties. It hasn't happened for a few minutes now, at least. Very highly annoyed at this bug, and will be glad if it's fixed.

Does anyone know if the 32-bit driver referenced later on (page 9 or 10) will work on a 64-bit machine? Thanks.
