Hmm, AFAIK auto-dim and auto-turn-off of backlight has nothing to do
with kernel. It's the feature of ipaq-sleep - at least when I disabled
ipaq-sleep on my C700 (by removing /etc/X11/Xsession.d/69ipaq-sleep),
backlight never went off since. 

I think via /sys/class/backlight you can only set brightness and turn
backlight on/off manually. There's also command line utility called 'bl'
which can be used for same purposes.
