the userspace scripts that acpid ships already support those events. So
if the kernel driver provides events in this way, the brightness changes
will work out-of-the-box.
So I vote for keeping those events in the driver - just as long as there
is no new standard mechanism for signalling brightness up/down button
events to userspace.
I was pondering to emulate the events that the "video" acpi class
driver sends to userspace. But that also doesn't really seems right the
correct solution.
