Kernel 2.6.28-4.10 fixes this problem for me in Jaunty. For the first time the brightness keys work correctly on my Asus B50A laptop.
However in /var/log/messages these messages appear when pressing brightness up/down keys: Jan 13 22:13:54 asus kernel: [ 181.876404] ACPI Error (dswstate-0097): Result stack is empty!
