I guess you have brightness keys working with gnome-power-manager?
Or maybe some hacks from SLED

I run a git+patch kernel (2.6.27 drm-2.6 + linux-acpi-2.6 + a patch from
Matthew Garrett to add opregion support) and brightness keys work in X.
I don't know when those patches will end in mainline kernel but I
wouldn't expect them before 2.6.28.

With recent enough kernel + gnome-power-manager it'll work
with /sys/modules/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled set to N.
