Title:
  Screen brightness cannot be adjusted on ASUS Eeepc 1015PEM

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is a regression.  Up to 13.10 there was no problem changing
  screen brightness on my Asus Eeepc 1015PEM.  This machine has function
  keys for changing  the screen brightness up (with Fn+F6) and down
  (with Fn+F5).

  In 14.04 using the function keys causes the indicator to appear and
  the the brightness bar moves appropriately, but there is no change to
  screen brightness.

  Using the slider on the (new?) Brightness and Lock settings form also
  has no affect on the screen brightness.  Operation of the function
  keys will move the slider.  However, repeated use of the function keys
  causes the slider control to disappear from the form (as is found on a
  machine where control of screen brightness by function keys are not
  available).
