Title:
  8086:0116 [Dell Inspiron 14z (N411z)] Display brightness keys don't
  generate evdev events after saucy upgrade

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  On raring (and precise) the display brightness keys (fn+f4 and fn+f5)
  on my Dell Inspiron 14z turned the brightness up and down.  After a
  saucy upgrade this no longer happens (I don't see the popup brightness
  bubble either).  The other, similar keys (volume adjustment, etc)
  still work fine.

  Changing the values in /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
  works (temporarily - it gets reset after the screen lock kicks in)

  I tried following the instructions in
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting but this appears to be
  out of date (it references /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt which
  does not exist)

  Ubuntu kernel version bisect revealed:
  First bad Ubuntu kernel: 3.11.0-0.2
  last good Ubuntu kernel: 3.10.0-6.17

  The results of a commit bisect are pending.
