Hi,
Now I've changed the program to be able to use /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness. If it doesn't exist, it just won't notify of brightness changes.
This will obviously not take take of brightness on the X301 or similar laptops but I'll probably add the relevant code for the X301 and others that have it under /proc/acpi/video/* soon.

For now this is the new code which gives notifications for the sound and for brightness on those laptops that have /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness. In the post there are now also more detailed step by step instructions.
I obviously couldn't test this so please leave your feedback on how the brightness stuff works for you.

Looking forward to some feedback,

Alex
