They don't work currently and yes, I know, I should submit a bug report. I will
when I have some time to sit on it. In the meantime, I've found this little
tool which works (at least partially), so I packaged it for myself and decided
to share with the rest of Fedora.

Setting brightness works already and this tool doesn't even touch it.

Maybe, but there's also a setting that overclocks the CPU to 1.8GHz (1.6GHz is
normal). Do we have something like that in Fedora? And besides, with all that
Windows-mimicking going on lately, why oppose the inclusion of a tool that Eee
users have present in their Windows XP installations? ;)
