Disable backlight (fn+F6 on mine) generates the same message for me in dmesg:

[11171.929802] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x84 on isa0060/serio0).
[11171.929815] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e004 <keycode>' to make it known.

Wlan button is also broken:

[11249.974187] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x86 on isa0060/serio0).
[11249.974200] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e006 <keycode>' to make it known.

I've tried writing the values directly to /proc/acpi/video/NVID/LCD/brightness, but I get a permission error.

sudo echo -n 50 > /proc/acpi/video/NVID/LCD/brightness

HOWEVER, if change to root (and don't just sudo write the values) via "sudo su" then I can write in values that take. Sadly the changes are not reflected in the actual brightness of the screen...

BTW, graphics card on the Q210 is a Nvidia GeForce 9200M GS, and I'm using the nvidia drivers.
