Update: For Subscribers to this bug:
Somewhere along in my research I read about ACPID .....look it up if your interested. Anyhow, I went to the System Menu, Administration then Services, and then disabled ACPID (power management), then rebooted. I now have the brightness keys working, muting etc but best of all the FAN comes on around 50 degrees and shuts itself off at around 40....thank god. I was becoming obsessive about the stupid fan. Even thought of storing the laptop in the fridge.... I should mention that I also have acpi_osi="Linux" installed. I'd say there is a bug in the ACPID scripts....but at this point I don't really care, as it all seems to work just fine.
