Hmm... since you *are* configuring your system to do the control through
scripts, try using input-kbd to map some keys to the Fn+Home and Fn+End
positions of the keymap (see Documentation/thinkpad-acpi.txt in the kernel
source for details).

*IF* HAL doesn't stand in the way, you can map to KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP and
KEY_BRIGHTNESS_DOWN.  If HAL starts doing stupid things, try mapping it to
some unused keys like F20 or whatever... and then use HAL or some other
"listen to keys and launch a program" application to call xbacklight.
