[Bug 172985] LCD Brightness buttons do not work on Thinkpad X61 Tablet

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Brightness up and down buttons (Fn + Home, Fn + End) don't work.
Running kubuntu, gutsy 7.10.
acpid catches events fine, and invokes /etc/acpi/video_brightnessdown.sh and /etc/acpi/video_brightnessup.sh

The scripts there run acpi_fakekey 224 or 225 , which doesn't seem to do
anything.

Changing these to:
echo 4 > /proc/apci/ibm/cmos
and
echo 5 > /proc/acpi/ibm/cmos

Fixes the problem, although it may just be a bandaid. Shouldn't
acpi_fakekey work?
