Oh, geez.  When the Brightness cdev is open, the 0-9 keys works just fine for
adjusting screen brightness.  Also, at 0 the screen is not totally black, so
if you were to turn the brightness down to 0, then close the Control Panel,
you would still be able to see enough to re-open the Control Panel and hit the
appropriate key.
