Thanks, it worked for me too!! Just FYI: I installed Ubuntu 9.10 x64 onto my 1005pe from the Alternate CD and avoided most of the problems i have read about (keyboard, web cam, etc).
Anyway, i wanted to add that "acpi_osi=Linux" did NOT work for me until I updated my BIOS to 0706. My factory BIOS was in the 0400's. 1. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 x64 Alt and noticed the brightness key issue. 2. I tried "acpi_osi=Linux", but it did not work 3. I updated my BIOS and then the keys worked properly. (i don't think i applied "acpi_osi=Linux" again after BIOS update, but i might have) As a test, I tried a fresh install of 9.10 x64 Alt with the new 0706 BIOS but without applying "acpi_osi=Linux" to see if the BIOS update alone would fix the issue. But, it did not. I had to apply "acpi_osi=Linux". So, the keys are working :) but the brightness slider in 'System->Preferences->Power Management' does nothing now. I can live with that.
