Hello Mark,

You observations made me doubt the patch and after some more testing I
found out that I don't need it to have the volume keys work, they
apparently already work out-of-the box nowadays.
However, I do need some method to prevent acpivideo from attaching, as
that disabled the use of brightness control. What would be the best
method to achieve that?

Thanks for your help.

Frank
