Did the brightness keys, for the Asus F50, work when you had Windows OS installed on it?
Also, which model of Asus F50 do you have: Gx, Q, Sf, SI Sv, or Z?
I have checked the keyboard of the Sv model - the F5 and F6 keys are marked as brightness control keys, and assume this is the same for all F50 models.
Just a couple of things penglezos:
1. After installing Linux Lite you should have adjusted the keyboard settings for an Asus laptop. If you haven't already done this then go to Menu Settings Keyboard Layout. Untick Use system defaults, click the drop-down box for Keyboard model and scroll up to select Asus Laptop. Close the window when done and reboot.
2. After installing Linux Lite, update your system first before editing the grub file (Menu Install Updates).
3. Did you remember to run sudo update-grub, after editing of the grub file, outlined in post #4?
I'm sure you probably did, but just thought I'd mention it ...
I have two Asus laptops (see signature below) - the brightness keys work without any problems for both of them - maybe the F50 is a bit of an awkward case ..!

64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
