I'm trying this bisect method for the first time and have compiled the
first kernel to test. don't close this bug! I'm not used to the ubuntu
way of building the kernel so be patient.

Title:
  kernel don't recognize laptop backlight fn keys

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 and fn+f7 and fn+f8 use to lower and higher the brightness of the screen.
  In slackware using kernel 3.14.33 those keys works and give output from acpi_listen.
  In kernel 3.16 to 4.0 those keys don't work and acpi_listen outputs nothing.

  I expected fn+f7 and fn+f8 to work
