Joakim,

I think that behavior - which I also experience - is due to HAL, which
seems to have gradually taken over more and more of the hot key stuff.
The problem is that the supplied addons for macbookpro only work for
some models up to 3,1, and only barely. This bug seems relevant:

Bug description:
I know, I know, its silly. But hey, a bug's a bug. The keyboard on Apple's latest revision of the MacBook Pro does not illuminate in low light conditions. The problem is probably not so much the keyboard, but the light sensors that trigger the LED's.
