    Works for Thinkpad X1 Yoga 2G (20JDCTO1WW) (and most probably others) with OLED display
First install inotify-tools. Then create a script around inotify that will be launched upon each boot or through autostart.
sudo apt install inotify-tools
cat <<-EO1 | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/xbacklightmon.sh#!/bin/bash
