Thank you for the patch! This one seems neat; I will only need to trim it a
little bit to send it to kernel.org. Also thanks for looking into the byte
encoding, these things are surely non-trivial.

Cheers,

i am using a macbook pro 3.1 with intrepid beta and the nvidia driver. i finally managed to have the backlight keys F1 and F2 working but now i face another problem. when i change the backlight setting, it resets itself after some minutes to an average light level. then i use f2 to increase backlight again and some time later it goes down again.i have deactivated the shade setting in the gnome power management. the light is also turned down while moving the mouse or typing.
