Groschensammler - I spoke to drunkenkilla on IRC, and he experiences the same behaviour as you. It seems the patch maps the brightness keys to the correct Xkeysyms, because you both see the brightness indicator on the screen, but something else is happening.

I assume that you are both using the NVIDIA proprietary driver? Would you mind trying my patch with the open source nv or vesa driver instead? I've read a lot about brightness keys not working with the proprietary NVIDIA driver.

Thanks
