2. Does these two command (if run from Konsole) change brightness properly on your laptop?
dcop `dcop | grep power-manager` power-manager brightnessUp
dcop `dcop | grep power-manager` power-manager brightnessDown

Yes they do work.

3. Does your laptop return same keycodes from brightness up (212) and down (101) as documented on
 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuLaptopKeycodes page? If not, what does it report and what does "lshal -m" report when key is pressed?

Yes, it does and "lshal -m" reports the following :
Start monitoring devicelist:
-------------------------------------------------
22:17:45.437: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-down
22:17:46.116: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up

I hope it will help in resolving this issue.
