Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade?  Was there a
prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.3 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as
"Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Function brightness keys do not change brightness.

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is occurring on a Lenovo y510p machine running Ubuntu 15.10. My
  machine has a double Nvidia GT750M setup, running the latest Nvidia
  tested drivers (352.41)

   I have read that installing the nvidiabl driver might help but I
  wasn't able to succeed installing
  https://github.com/guillaumezin/nvidiabl in my system.

  I have attempted editing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub to "quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux
  acpi_backlight=vendor" with no success.

  I have also attempted adding Option "RegistryDwords"
  "EnableBrightnessControl=1" to my nvidia xorg config file with no
  success.

  I managed a workaround solution by mapping keyboard shortcuts to the
  commands xbacklight -inc 5 and xbacklight -dec 5.
