kernel 2.6.27 Fn+Up/Down keys change brightness wrong

Today I installed Arch on my Dell XPS M1330. When I change the brightness level with Fn+ Up/Down keys, its increase twice. Previously I had Ubuntu 8.04/8.10 on it and I had the same problem with the brightness level. In Ubuntu 8.04 it was solved adding "blacklist video" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist but in Intrepid and Arch I can't solve it. Must be a bug in the kernel.

Any info about this problem?

Thanks

# chmod -x /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-lcd-set-brightness

You usually have to do this whenever the kernel updates.
