No, I already have this removed for the greater justice.
I think I got it: when udev in archlinux updated to 177 and brightness
control stopped working, I (unaware of that being a udev problem)
started searching for solution and, well, broke something. F.e., I
found ~/.Xmodmap file with some strange instructions.

Yes, I do. Also I tried disabling it and nothing changed. Perhaps, I'm
gonna try removing it form the system.
Also, Fn+F1 / F7 / F12 still don't work, though among these 3 I only
need Fn+F1 (switch touchpad on/off).
But that's how it was from the beginning! :)
