Public bug reported: Normally on Ubuntu (and other OS e.g. Windows, OSX) the brightness keys on the keyboard adjust the backlight of the display so that you can reduce battery usage.
On Lubuntu/LXQT 19.04 they appear to adjust the brightness or contrast of the image instead, and the backlight is not adjusted. This can be verified by opening the Brightness control panel which shows that the backlight slider (top) is not adjusted, instead the brightness 'wheel' is adjusted.
