Will the 'hal' bug #372874 see any love?
Fixing bug #372874 and enabling thinkpad_acpi hotkeys for brightness-keys DOES
fix the brightness issue.
Brightness-notification will then be handled correctly by g-p-m!
Modprobe option to enable brightness hotkeys:

bwalex's code along with PhilippeDePass's patch works great over here.
Is there any chance that someone can package this so that more people
can benefit from the fix?

For the volume you can change the line that reads volume3 to volume*7.
notify_notification_set_hint_int32(not, value, volume3);
I normally use shifts wherever possible, but obviously LSL by 3 multiplies by
8, and given a maximum raw volume of 14, that goes a bit above the maximum.
Nonetheless
Crispin:
the brightness bug with g-p-m notifications, IS actually a hald bug. bug #372874
the 'get_backlight' function should read 'actual_brightness' not 'brightness':
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/hal/tree/hald/linux/addons/addon-generic-backlight.c
'brightness' is only used to set backlight!
bwalex's script (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hotkey-

volume and brightness notifications appear.
Thank you very much!

the solution of adding the hotkey event has the exact problem Ubuntu was trying

I did a simple setup which is working for me.
All collected in attached tar.gz
Basicly:
* enable thinkpad_acpi hotkeys
* disable volume up, down, mute in HAL - I just deleted the lines
* Add event to /etc/acpi/events
* Simplyfied Zoltans script to use with acpi.
* Letting g-p-m handle brightness
Found a better way to disable hal's handling of the events
Instead of editing /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30
-keymap-module-thinkpad-acpi.fdi
Simply add attached hal file to /etc/hal/fdi/information.
The file overrides the keymapping of thinkpad extra button.

I've written a small C program which pops up notifications about changes in the
