To ayman:

The brightness function works on 2.8 for me, but it is [Fn]+Left arrow or [Fn]+right arrow.

[Fn]+Up arrow or [Fn]+Down arrow controls the speaker volume.

You may want to check to make sure you have the right keyboard layout selected.

If this can't be resolved for you in oher ways, do what I did. My brightness keys work but I only get like 5 levels (should be 20). It has to do with Lenovos weird Fn Keys and the Intel graphics driver I can't use.

Install xbacklight:

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbacklight

Go to the main menu and search for keyboard, open the 'Keyboard' program and go to 'Application Shortcuts'.
Bind unused key combos to these to commands:

To increase brightness by 2% (I used [Alt] + [+(NumPad)])

Code:

xbacklight -inc 2

To decrease brightness by 2% (I used [Alt + [-(NumPad)])

Code:

xbacklight -dec 2
