Same issue on Lenovo ThinkPat P76. Brightness control was working
before.

Downgrade to 450 works for me too.

Title:
no brightness control after update from 450 to 455
Status in OEM Priority Project:
New
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-455 package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
On my Lenovo X1 Extreme with GPU: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce
GTX 1050 Ti Mobile]
Updating to nvidia-driver-455 results in loss of brightness control.
On boot, the laptop display brightness is somewhat less than fully
bright and cannot be changed. The brightness up/down keys do pop up
the gnome gui brightness widget, and /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_0/*
values do change, but the actual display's brightness does not.
Problem occurs with either version of nvidia-driver-455 (the archive
or the ~graphics-drivers/PPA). Normal functionality returns if I
downgrade to any version of nvidia-driver-450.
Note also that manually applying this to
/lib/systemd/system/nvidia-persistenced.service has no effect on the problem:
