an update is available for your BIOS (F.08). If you update to this
following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change
anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  8086:0be1 [HP Mini 110-4100] Backlight brightness control keys not
  working

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Expired
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Problem: Function keys don't control de backlight brightness and can't
  be controled by System Configuration either.

  With stock Ubutnu distribution (both kernel and Xorg server) I get
  this:

  No entries in /sys/class/backlight whit or withtout
  "acpi_backlight=vendor" grub line

  Low level setpci command works
  $ sudo setpci -s "00:02.0" F4.B="XX"
  Where "XX" is anything between 00 and FF

  On dmesg when pressing keyboard funciton keys:

  Fn+F3 (Bright UP)
  [17431.095998] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xab on isa0060/serio0).
  [17431.096022] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e02b <keycode>' to make it known.
  [17431.251467] atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xab on isa0060/serio0).

  Fn+F3 (Bright DOWN)

  [17464.488019] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e02b <keycode>' to make it known.

  With mainline kernel 3.3.6 and Xorg-Edgers PPA is the same

  Anything I can do to help please let me know.
