We really need to work out how to get these keys reported as input
events so that they can be passed through to the desktop and handled in
an appropriate manner.  As-is, we end up with poor backlight management
because we've got ACPI and the 2D driver (and HAL trying to use one of
the two) fighting over who controls it.
