Yes and no - down always worked in 2-step increments but up was simply
unpredictable - sometimes it went up 2 steps and stayed there, sometimes it
went up 2 steps briefly and went back to the level it was before the keypress.

Now, I have two pieces of new info. Few days ago I stayed a while longer in the
rc3 kernel (I rebooted after 2 days - probably 2 suspend-resume cycles and
quite a few mode-switches LVDS<->VGA later) and when I was about to reboot I
noticed the hotkeys were broken here too! Can the relevant info be found in
dmesg output? If so, I'll see if I can reproduce the situation.
Second, the /sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled is set to Y
in current Ubuntu kernel. Setting it to N fixes pretty much everything -
hotkeys increment and decrement properly, powerdevil detects the keypresses and
shows the brightness level as it's increased/decreased correctly, showkey -s
detects 4 characters on quick keypress for both keys, and brightness is
adjusted in tty as well as in X.

Down: 0xe0 0x4c 0xe0 0xcc
Up: 0xe0 0x54 0xe0 0xd4

I'm not sure I understand from #19592's comments how this is intended to work -
is this merely this laptop missing from/being in some white/blacklist
incorrectly, or is this an ACPI bug or intel-driver bug?
