Hm, poking Fn keys make kde slider widget appear on my Toshiba Satellite
but do nada, never did, and I never looked into it, assumed there was no
canned functionality for my lappy, so use a setpci script instead.

Lappy has acpi_video0, which gui is twiddling, and does nothing, as does
toshiba, while intel_backlight works.

Suppose I should put latest/greatest kernel on the thing, maybe my Fn
keys will magically start turning the _right_ knob.
