That could be the problem.  You shouldn't do anything extra to change
brightness in userspace when using video.c to do it.

That said, have you any idea why you are getting two brightness up/down key
events (or did I understand the report incorrectly)?  Do you get that when
thinkpad-acpi is unloaded?

Yeah, Lenovo has not moved the brightness events to the KDC, just the volume
up/down/mute keys.

Good.  It shouldn't send events for brightness on your thinkpad.
