Hi, I haven't followed the given link yet, but I found a solution : use nvidia's proprietary drivers.
As soon as the driver is loaded, the settings scrollbar is working. Not the hotkeys though...
I'll have a look into that.

Title:
  Can't change screen brightness on Toshiba P855-30D

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The brightness is locked to the brightest setting (eye-melting-bright).
  I upgraded to the latest BIOS to this date : 6.70
  Below are my different attempts at setting the brightness using the command line (GUI don't work either).

  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
  /sys/class/backlight/ is populated
  /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness:100
  changing /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness has no effect

  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor"
  /sys/class/backlight/ is empty

  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi="
  /sys/class/backlight/ is populated
  /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness:7
  changing /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness has no effect

  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2012\""
  /sys/class/backlight/ is populated
  /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness:7
  changing /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness has no effect
