Also, for the brightness keys: a friend who's better versed than I in
the ways of hal showed me how to copy some entries from
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-hp.fdi to
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/30-keymap-private.fdi. (It
probably would have sufficed to edit 30-keymap-hp.fdi in place, too.)
Specifically, he added:
<match
key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.hardware.product"
contains="6930p">
<!-- HP Elitebook 6930p -->
<append key="input.keymap.data"
type="strlist">e012:brightnessdown</append> <!-- FnF7 (brightness down) -->
<append key="input.keymap.data"
type="strlist">e017:brightnessup</append> <!-- FnF8 (brightness up) -->
</match>
inside the existing <match> block for system.hardware.vendor prefix
Hewlett-Packard.
This gave me working brightness keys.
