I was infored that this ability has been discountinued in
favour of the backlight utility, so I gave up and wrote the
following devd rule:
notify 10
{ match "system" "ACPI" ;
match "subsystem" "Video" ;
match "type" "brightness" ;
action "/usr/bin/backlight $notify"; };
This changes brightness by tiny 1/100 steps, but this is
by desing of the HP engineers...
