Re: brightness control using hardware buttons

This is totally HW/BSP dependent, anyway:

The keypad driver should signal the backlight manager when one of the two
keys (I suppose you will use
a key to increase the brightness, another to decrement it) is pressed, then
the backlight manager will add/dec
the brightness value. How to 'signal the backlight manager' depends on the
backlight manager itself: you can
use a message queue; you can use ExtEscape if the backlight is managed by
the display driver or you can
use DeviceIOControl if the backlight is managed by its own driver
