I use the following scripts to help me with this problem on a X220:

http://www.alogt.com/freebsd/XonX220

starts X for me and

http://www.alogt.com/freebsd/setbrightness

is used to adjust brightness.

You might have to adjust them as some modules might be already loaded
at your machine. These scripts work for me on 10.
