bwalex's script (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hotkey-setup/+bug/357673/comments/63) works well on my ThinkPad X31. Both volume and brightness notifications appear.

Thank you very much!

However, when running from the terminal, I get an endless stream of "brightness new crap occured".

The problem appears to be that my ThinkPad uses the old brightness node (/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness)

However, the new brightness node still exists:

phil@phil-laptop:~$ cat /proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD0/brightness
<not supported>

So I have modified it to check for this (again, this is a quick and dirty fix)
