My Ubuntu skills are very limited. However, as long as a user is running either GNOME or KDE, things should just work. The mixer applications pick up the volume up and down events. Handling brightness events for ThinkPads is another story. The events will reach user space but user space is not ought to do anything as they are handled in hardware (c.f. [1]). But thinkpad-keys did not do anything about this anyway.
