2. Do these two commands (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
Answer: No. Here's the output:
object 'brightnessUp' in application 'power-manager' not accessible
object 'brightnessDown' in application 'power-manager' not accessible

3. Does your laptop return same keycodes from brightness up (212) and down (101) as documented on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuLaptopKeycodes page?

Answer: Here's the output of lshal -m
Start monitoring devicelist:
-------------------------------------------------
16:54:21.186: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-down
16:54:24.172: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up

Note: Brightness buttons and Resume after Suspend work fine in Ubuntu7.10 + Gnome.
They do not work with Ubuntu7.10 + KDE nor Kubuntu 7.10.
