It works, I'm in legacy mode, but it is working without the Fn key but not with.. oddly enough.. I'm not touching that wifi key! (thats the f5 lol)
Ok here are the keyboard mappings so that you can control brightness with the default Lenovo keys. Add this under the "Custom ADB Map" section inside Rehabman's kext in this file:
VoodooPS2Controller.kext\Contents\PlugIns\VoodooPS2Keyboard.kext\Contents\Info.plist
<string>57=6b</string>
<string>58=71</string>
<string>3b=4a</string>
<string>3c=49</string>
<string>3d=48</string>
Also make sure your "Hotkey" setting is set to "Legacy" in the BIOS. It won't work otherwise.
To recap brightness setup:
-Brightness Fix patch inside DSDT
-ACPIBacklight.kext installed
-Edited Rehabman's kext for proper button controls (here)
I will attach the already edited KEXT if you are too lazy to do it yourself. Just install this, repair perms and clear cache.

Thanks. Is legacy mode when you have to hit Fn and to get Fn+key? Or just key to get Fn+key?
Instead of hitting Fn+F2 to get to bios, you need to hit just F2 (As an example). Unfortunately this is needed if you want brightness control with stock buttons, because otherwise it isn't picked up by OSX.

Hey XMYUKON, so I installed the kext modified file (lazy I know ) and repaired permission and restarted and put it on "legacy" mode. However, when I increase/decrease brightness in any direction I only get three increments changes and then I lose fn of brightness and I only get the sun symbol upon pressing either button with no effect of increase or decrease, it is just stuck right at the middle. This is fixed when I restart only to get the same result only 3 taps of the key in any direction. Note: for some reason whether it is working or not the increments show as half-increment not full like on a regular mac. This is a U310 which is identical to your system I believe. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

I guess what I'm getting at it, you've mapped this so that they are always hotkeys? Was that the only way to map it or your preference? I would prefer to map it the other way to require both keys to be pressed [fn+fkey] is there any issue with doing so?
I probably just need to go back and read what you and rehabman said about it..
Its kind of a funny situation because you've put it into legacy mode, but in the OS turned it into hotkey mode. Which is more or less how it should be anyway, can't the operating system handle some hotkeys why is the bios involved? I wish I could take the hotkeys out of the bios completely and just give them to the OS; A bios seems like a problematic place for them to be anyway....
