More update with the open source driver:
Trusty 3.13.0-65 - brightness would change with hotkey and the applet, but it's not changing in the expected order.
Trusty 3.16.0-50 - brightness control works with applet, but hotkey event is not detected (nothing from showkey command)
Trusty 3.19.0-30 - brightness control with applet and hotkey works as expected.

Title:
  [Lenovo V480] Unable to control the brightness from Max - Min

Status in linux-lts-trusty package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  CID: 201204-10924 Lenovo V480

  With the Brightness applet, the brightness level on this system cannot be adjusted from Max (let's say, level 11) to Min (level 1).
  The brightness level will goes down and up, which behaves like 11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-4-5

  Steps:
  1. Install 12.04.3 + update (3.8.0-33), boot to desktop
  2. Adjust the screen brightness by the Brightness and Lock applet, clicking the leftmost part of the scroll bar to change the brightness stepwise
  3. Click and drag the slider to adjust the brightness

  Expected result:
  - Brightness could be adjusted smoothly.

  Actual result:
  1. Brightness cannot go down to the lowest level, it behaves like 11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-4-5
  2. When you drag and move the slider, the backlight will flash between Max and the indicated level.

  Debugging information:

  Note: the hotkey is probably affected by bug 1248442, but it will
  cause the same result when it's working.
