thinkpad-keys nor tbp is running. nvram module is loaded but I don't
think it makes a difference. Hal is running.

Well it doesn't impact on brightness control directly, but it reports an
event when using fn+home/fn+end wich I catch from my window manager to
run xbacklight.

using acpi_listen:
Fn+home -> ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001010
Fn+end -> ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001011

using input-events: 
/dev/input/event0
   bustype : BUS_I8042
   vendor  : 0x1
   product : 0x1
   version : 43860
   name    : "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
   phys    : "isa0060/serio0/input0"
   bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_MSC EV_LED EV_RE

lsinput /dev/input/event0 reports nothing when using Fn+home/end

/dev/input/event4
   bustype : BUS_HOST
   vendor  : 0x17aa
   product : 0x5054
   version : 16641
   name    : "ThinkPad Extra Buttons"
   phys    : "thinkpad_acpi/input0"
   bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_MSC EV_SW

lsinput /dev/input/event4 reports nothing either

This is with video unloaded and thinkpad-acpi loaded.

HTH,
