Hotkey change status is through _Q11 and _Q12 event but not wmi:


    Method (_Q11, 0, NotSerialized)             /* Brightness down */
    {
        If (LGreaterEqual (OSYS, 0x07D6))       /* Vista or later */
        {
            If (LEqual (OBV, 0xFF))
            {
                Notify (^^^PEGP.VGA.LCD, 0x87)
            }
            Else
            {
                Notify (^^^OVGA.DD03, 0x87)
            }
        }
        Else                                    /* 0x07D1 (XP) or 0x03E8 (Linux) */
        {
            ^^^OVGA.AINT (One, BRTS)		/* access AINT, it touch BCLP register */
            If (LEqual (^^^WMID.BAEF, One))
            {
                Store (BRTS, Local1)
                Store (^^^WMID.LBL0, Local2)
                Add (Local2, Local1, Local2)
                Store (Local2, ^^^WMID.NTDC)
                Notify (WMID, 0x80)
            }
        }
    }

Method (AINT, 2, NotSerialized)
{
...
    Else
    {
        If (LEqual (Arg0, One))         /* Linux or XP */
        {
            Add (Arg1, One, Arg1)
            Store (Divide (Multiply (Arg1, 0xFF), 0x0A, ), BCLP)
            Or (BCLP, 0x80000000, BCLP)		/* touch BCLP register */
            Store (0x02, ASLC)
        }


That's why I said acpi_osi"!Windows 2006" should also works to you. Unfortunately,
there have something wrong in video driver for support this machine on XP mode.


thanks a lot!
