Once bitten, twice shy.  I understand these buttons in the Panasonic Let's
Note do NOTHING in firmware/hardware (i.e. if you don't hook something to
them, brightness is NOT changed)?

Because if they DO anything else than just staying there prettly and telling
you they have been pressed, then you are **NOT** to issue
KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP/DOWN.
