With gnome-power-manager running, brightness down does not function (it looks like it goes down one level then back up again).
Brightness up sometimes works, sometimes shows similar behaviour, sometimes will go up rapidly when fn-home is pressed.
The keys function as normal/expected if gpm is not running.
This sounds quite similar (not not exactly the same as) bug #81407
This is on the gutsy Tribe2 release gnome-power-manager 2.19.3-0ubuntu2
I can confirm that on a z61t. Brightness is pretty messed up in gutsy. Sometimes it dosen't let me adjust it (when i change it, it goes right back). Other times when it does let me the little pop up for brightness never goes away (just sits in the middle of the screen).
