Public bug reported:

The screen brightness hotkeys on my MacBook 3,1 do not adjust the
backlight's brightness. This is a regression from 11.04. I have a USB
"Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad" w/ dedicated function keys for
screen brightness. These also stopped working.

The kernel seems to be fine; I can adjust screen brightness from the command line:
$ echo 7 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/apple_backlight/brightness

This is similar to bug 849110 about keyboard brightness hotkeys (not to
be confused with screen brightness hotkeys), which I've also
encountered.

The volume up/down/mute hotkeys on this keyboard do continue to function
properly.
