Most likely the following info is obsolete.
Fn+Home and Fn+End keys invoke scripts in /etc/acpi:

thinkpad-brightness-up.sh
video_brightnessdown.sh
acpid daemon is responsible for listening to acpi events and running the appropriate script. To enable Fn+Home and Fn+End keys, put the following into respective video_brightness***.sh files:
#!/bin/bash

#!/bin/bash
