The reason why the brightness notifications work on T60 and newer is that they have a better ACPI implementation. I'm not really a programmer, but using bwalex's script as a guide i guess i'll be able to add brightness to the notification watchlist, so we can have a more lightweight solution for the older notebooks also (at least i'll give it a try tomorrow).
I'd also appreciate if somebody could shed some light about how this should move on to become an official, real solution for the problem? An application written in C and needing a bunch of -dev packages (nor the shell script i've written) is not something the average user can do/will do in order to get the OSD fixed. Any ideas are greatly welcome.
