Public bug reported:

I have an Intel NUC that's otherwise running Ubuntu 15.10 great! It's
hooked up to a ViewSonic monitor via mini-DV / DVI.

The brightness controls are disabled on the monitor.

xbacklight does nothing. And I don't have the Brightness slider in
Brightness & Lock.

I've been poking around, and have seen where to create a file in
xorg.conf.d. The problem is, I have an empty /sys/class/backlight dir.

Per the following, I'm submitting a support ticket:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/577539/dell-chromebook-11-unable-to-set-
backlight-and-sys-class-backlight-folder-is/578497#578497

I'd like to be able to increase the brightness on my screen.
