In fact gnome-power-manager has it, and not only this issue. But patched gnome-power-manager (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/527157) solves everething with brightness for my LG X110(MSI WIND clone).

That patch add /apps/gnome-power-manager/backlight/brightness_in_hardware key.
