Public bug reported: In HP Compaq 2510p laptop the FN-hotkeys for brightness control have no effect.
FN+f9 is supposed to decrease brightness, but the brightness does not change. No message is displayed on screen. FN+f10 is supposed to increase brightness, but the brightness does not change. No message is displayed on screen. FN+f11 is supposed to turn light sensor (HP hardware lfor automatic brightness) on/off, but the light sensor does not activate. A message symbol similar to turning touchpad off is displayed on the screen (but touchpad state does not change). Brightness can be controlled from system settings / brightness and lock. Also brightness is changed during idle or power adapter plugged or unplugged.
