I don't think this is fixed yet

I can confirm this is still a problem on gutsy (was the same on feisty)
Laptop: asus w1j:

:~$ grep . /var/lib/acpi-support/*-*
/var/lib/acpi-support/bios-version:W1JAS.212
/var/lib/acpi-support/system-manufacturer:ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
/var/lib/acpi-support/system-product-name:W1J
/var/lib/acpi-support/system-version:1.0

Pressing Fn+F5 when running acpi_listen produces 2 lines (Fn+F6 produces nothing):
~$ acpi_listen
hotkey ATKD 0000002e 00000005
video LCDD 00000087 00000000

As a work-around to get the brightness back: put the brightness applet on the panel (so you can move the brightness slider back up again):
Right click on the panel, choose 'Add to Panel', under 'System and Hardware' choose 'Brightness Applet'.
