Matthew,
I am not sure whether this is a bug or just something not configured
correctly. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 and finally decided to find out why
the S1 and S2 buttons no longer brighten or dim the display. Prior to
commit 9b57896e, they behaved equivalent to the Fn-F5 and Fn-F6 keys
for brightness up/down.
I am willing to help isolate this further. What can I provide?
Thanks,
Robin

I suspect that they're now working correctly, whereas previously they
weren't. Do they generate input events when you press them? You can
probably map them back to KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP and KEY_BRIGHTNESSODNW.

You are correct. They now seem to generate XF86Launch1 and XF86Launch2.
Thanks,
Robin

That's what I'd expect. Previously we were decoding some of the hotkeys
incorrectly, resulting in the wrong codes being sent.
