I tried blacklisting the video 'module'. This did fix the problem of
controlling the brightness, but broke the brightness control in a
different way. Without the 'video' module, if I change the brightness
(using keyboard hotkeys) then the brightness-level-indicator window
lingers on the screen and focus is never released (I can no longer use
the keyboard for anything except controlling the brightness.)
