You should be able to use the key events trigger code to increment the
sysctl.  (Not that I have actually tried this.)

Does xrandr work on the X61s? If so, this should also be doable by making
the Fn+F7 trigger the appropriate xrandr command. Work fine on my T43.

You could even write a gtk (or qt) based tool to bring up a GUI to let
you customize this (similar to what the ThinkPads do under Windows
XP). (No, I am not planning on writing one. My simple method is adequate
to my needs.)
