Thanks for the data. I'll commit this to udev as soon as I get write
permissions back.

I can't test these myself as I don't have an illuminated keyboard, but
gnome-settings-daemon's "media-keys" plugin has code to react to
these:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/plugins/media-keys/gsd-media-keys-manager.c#n1549
Can you please ensure that X.org actually knows about these? Please
run "killall gnome-settings-daemon", then "xev", move the pointer into
the white window and press Fn+F7/F8. Do you see keyboard events for
XF86KbdBrightnessUp/XF86KbdBrightnessDown in the terminal?
Martin
