Bug Description
Binary package hint: pommed
MacBook Pro 3.1
Pommed uses linux/input.h, while g-p-m (which works) uses X keyboard stuff. When on an X11 VT, the key events do not pass to Pommed.
WORKAROUND: switch to a non-X VT (Ctrl+Alt+F1..6) in order to change brightness, then switch back (Alt+F7).

I suspect this has something to do with the xorg input hotplug being enabled about a week prior to the reporting of this bug. I think those who have access to the hardware need to run hal with debug outout, but I don't know enough about hal to be sure as to whether thats the best approach.
