Hi Christopher,

Tried the 3.15-rc7 kernel but the problem is still there. Pressing
Fn+F6/Fn+F7 the brightness doesn't change.

Title:
  [Fujitsu Lifebook A512] Brightness hot keys Fn+F6/Fn+F7 don't work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Pressing Fn+F6 or Fn+F7 the brightness doesn't change.

  WORKAROUND: Execute at a terminal:
  for i in /sys/class/backlight/*; do echo $i;cat $i/brightness;cat $i/max_brightness;done

  shows this output:
  /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0
  1
  100
  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight
  4882
  4882

  Create /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf to set the "intel_backlight" interface, which will make the brightness shortcuts Fn+F6 and Fn+F7 work:
  Section "Device"
          Identifier "card0"
          Driver "intel"
          Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight"
          BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
