According to <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting>, "If the
events are reported by more than one input device then report a kernel
bug (Ubuntu linux package) because it should only send the event on one
device."  On my Latitude 2110, the brightness control keys (Fn+Up and
Fn+Down) seem to appear through two different devices, /dev/input/event3
("AT Translated Set 2 keyboard") and /dev/input/event4 ("Video Bus").
The keys also control the screen brightness, even in a text console.
