FTR, my Thinkpad X230 seems to work differently, the brightness keys are
handled directly in hardware there. I don't get an evdev event nor the
bubble notifications. So I'm afraid I can't debug this myself easily.

** Summary changed:

- Inspiron 3137 brightness keys aren't recognized
+ [vivid regression] brightness keys aren't recognized

Title:
  [vivid regression] brightness keys aren't recognized

Status in “unity-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hardware keys on an inspirion 3137 for brightness don't work. Manually setting the backlight via /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
   works properly. This worked properly in vivid and has been broken since upgrade.

  Xev doesn't show a keypress event. Scan codes from evtest are shown
  below:
