I was infored that this ability has been discountinued in
favour of the backlight utility, so I gave up and wrote the
following devd rule:

notify 10
{       match  "system"    "ACPI"          ;
        match  "subsystem" "Video"         ;
        match  "type"      "brightness"    ;
        action "/usr/bin/backlight $notify";  };

This changes brightness by tiny 1/100 steps, but this is
by desing of the HP engineers...
