> doesn't it make more sense to fix up the kernel to suppress known-bogus keypress events

This would mean that userspace does not learn about brightness changes at all, though. I. e. we couldn't give feedback in the form of notification bubbles, or update the brightness level in the brightness applet, etc. Certainly not the end of the world, but AFAIUI this has been the main reason why the key events are still present.

Of course it would be great if something would tell us that the keys are already handled in hardware. hal-info did that before, but it seems that g-p-m stopped making use of this.
