(PROBLEM)
$ sudo /lib/udev/keymap input/event3 0x00 brightnessdown 0x10 brightnessup
EVIOCSKEYCODE: Invalid argument
setting scancode 0x 0 to key code 224 failed
EVIOCSKEYCODE: Invalid argument
setting scancode 0x10 to key code 225 failed

I'v also re-done the step to find the scan codes:

$ sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event3
Press ESC to finish
scan code: 0x00   key code: fn_f5
scan code: 0x10   key code: fn_f6
scan code: 0x11   key code: fn_f5
scan code: 0x10   key code: fn_f6
scan code: 0x11   key code: fn_f5
scan code: 0x10   key code: fn_f6
scan code: 0x11   key code: fn_f5
scan code: 0x10   key code: fn_f6

But there is something strange: the first key that I press receives a
0x00 scan codes but the next times it is correctly recognized. It is
not related to the F5 key as you can see below:

$ sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event3
Press ESC to finish
scan code: 0x00   key code: fn_f6
scan code: 0x11   key code: fn_f5
scan code: 0x10   key code: fn_f6
scan code: 0x11   key code: fn_f5
scan code: 0x10   key code: fn_f6

$ sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event3
Press ESC to finish
scan code: 0x00   key code: fn_f9
scan code: 0x14   key code: fn_f10
scan code: 0x15   key code: fn_f9
scan code: 0x14   key code: fn_f10

Is it normal?

I've also tried the suggested command with the correct codes:
$ sudo /lib/udev/keymap input/event3 0x11 brightnessdown 0x10 brightnessup
EVIOCSKEYCODE: Invalid argument
setting scancode 0x11 to key code 224 failed
EVIOCSKEYCODE: Invalid argument
setting scancode 0x10 to key code 225 failed

Martin, please note that in my system I have the patch su suggested as
