So after I did this the laptop still booted to full brightness. On top of that
the brightness keys stopped working. I was how ever able to change brightness
with a sudo sysctl command. Then the really odd thing the increase brightness
key still didn't work but the decrease brightness key sent it back to full
brightness???

On a hunch I tried instead using acpi_ibm, but that didn't workout.
