Tried all this stuff on latest Ubuntu 10.10 and Elitebook 6930p. Most of these problems went away already. Here is what still doesn't work for me very well:
1. Hardware mute button actually mutes/unmutes internal speakers though sound mixer applet is not updated properly. Though when muting/unmuting sound with GUI, hardware mute button indicator properly reflects the changes.
2. Hardware mute button doesn't do anything for external speakers. Though when muting/unmuting sound with GUI, sound from external speakers properly reflects the changes.
I think we can rephrase the bug dropping mention about brightness since everything related to this functionality works like a charm.
