This seems to be the problem:

%lshal -l -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_backlight
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_backlight'
[..]
  laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware = true  (bool)

Thus PowerDevil/Solid only register the brightness key presses but don't
actually set the brightness as they expect the hardware to do this. Can
others with this problem confirm that this is the same issue for them or
do I have a different bug and should open a new report?
