Try running xev and punching brightness keys, if you would see
"effects" (some text in terminal) then its OK :P You should change the
Acpi configs (etc/acpi/) or Gnome/KDE/Xfce/... bindings.

(if You dont know it already)
For acpi config You'll need "event id" try running acpi_listen.
eg. /etc/acpi/events/sleep:
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004
action=/etc/acpi/actions/sleep.sh

and into actions you put scripts, try using xbacklight.

If You wouldn't have any reaction in xev and acpi_listen i check the
option in kernel.
