Ubuntu should not wait for upstream. Try out the patch.
It solves the brightness-notification issue.
1. Apply attached patch to hald
2. echo options thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xfd
/etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.conf
3. Restart hal, reload thinkpad_acpi module
= brightness notification
Thanks, since there is a patch (and upstream report) I'll mark as
triaged!
