I've similar problem here with my X60s.
echo 'up' >! /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness
works fine but using the hotkeys has no effect. I now realized that xev doesn't return a keycode for FN+HOME and FN+END at all. FN only gives a keycode as well as HOME and END on its own do.
However, i'm using Vanilla, so don't expect this to be an arch related problem. AFAIK things concerning brightness adjustment changed for 2.6.29 in the acpi/video branch.
Do you have some special settings enabled?? Because you shouldn't. on my X60s everything works fine in console and X (with any sufficiently recent intel driver - maybe 2.3 was too old - I don't remember) -- damjan
