I have this problem on a HP Zbook 15 with kernel 3 .11.0-17-generic
#31~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 4 21:25:43 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linux
However if I use KDE the keyboard controls change the screen brightness. It
seems it's not only a kernel matter.
It's KDE 4.8.5.

with a better one in the upstream 3.14-rc4 kernel by these two commits:

The fix is not perfect: the machine (running kernel
v3.14.0-031400rc2-generic) does not remember the user-set value of the
brightness. After reboot the brightness is set on its maximum.

The latest mainline kernel 3.14.0-031400rc2-generic fixed the bug. I
can now controll brightness both using the Control Center and also the
Fn F9 and Fn F10 key strokes. I added appropriate tags to the bug.

It now became possible to boot a live DVD of the latest development
release of ubuntu (64 bit) on my HP ZBook. I installed this system of
the machine's HDD. I have applied all available updates via the
UpdateManager.
The brightenss problem remains.

I have the same problem with a ZBook 14 with Intel/AMD graphics. My
current workaround is to use this script (which is actually what I use
on my desktop at night):
#!/bin/bash
xrandr -q | grep " connected" | awk '{print $1}' | while read d; do
echo "setting $d"
xrandr --output $d --brightness
Oh, sorry, I missed out an important step, my $HOME/backlight directory
is a link to /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight. You should either do
the same or change $BACKLIGHT_DIR to the same thing, and then the
brightness should get updated instantly when you run the script (no need
for calling any
Hello ebutler,
I tried your script but it did not work for me. Of course I changed the paths
to match my login name konopka.
The script did not modify the brightness even when I run it directly from
command line (using sudo).
However, I was not surprised by it because there is no command for xse

It should have been attached to the bug 662933 (keyboard mapping mixed up upon

I did the mistake and attached it to the present bug.

I can confirm this problem still persists also.
Martin -- I hacked this workaround, that maybe can work for you too.
I mapped
'sudo /home/ebutler/bin/backlight.sh up'
to Ctrl-F10 (my backlight is Fn-F10) using the keyboard shortcut options,
and added

Yes, it is still an issue on ubuntu 13.10. (No proprietary NVidia driver
installed.) I will test the problem on the latest development version of
ubuntu.
The issue is worse than you might expect. I often need to read and edit
documents and those use a white background (typically PDF documents).

Martin Konopka, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
