For other one I got same never ending loop.
I guess these are the relevant specifics:

KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001,
    root 0x2b9, subw 0x0, time 3656195, (96,113), root:(690,436),
    state 0x10, keycode 134 (keysym 0xffae, KP_Decimal), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2e) "."
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001,
    root 0x2b9, subw 0x0, time 3656195, (96,113), root:(690,436),
    state 0x10, keycode 134 (keysym 0xffae, KP_Decimal), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2e) "."
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2e) "."
    XFilterEvent returns: False

I guess that'll work. I am looking at `man acpi_video` which talks
about sysctling brightness variables.
