I've commited these:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal-commit/2007-December/004075.html
(set laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware=true when the device get created)

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal-commit/2007-December/004076.html
(removed set laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware for Dell since it's now
set correctly in the fdi file which is part of the hal package)
