[Bug 1280394] Re: 8086:0116 [Dell Inspiron 14z (N411z)] Display brightness keys do not work on kernels 3.11 and 3.13

@madvinegar: No, I don't know how to do that.
I can still experience the issue on 14.04.1 which is just crazy. I'm on
13.04 trying to avoid losing this functionality but now they took all
the repositories offline because its support life cycle ended. It would
seem that 14.04 support was the one that ended though given how this
hasn't even been looked at (along with many others bug reports).

Title:
8086:0116 [Dell Inspiron 14z (N411z)] Display brightness keys do not
work on kernels 3.11 and 3.13
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Brightness keys Fn+F4 and Fn+F5 (decrease and increase brightness) do not work on 13.10 and 14.04.
On 12.04 (up to 12.04.3) and 13.04 worked ok.
That is, up to ubuntu repository kernel 3.8 the brightness keys worked ok.
On ubuntu repository kernels 3.11 and 3.13, the brightness keys do not
work. (this includes 12.04.4 that has kernel 3.11).
I currently have installed 14.04 with kernel 3.13.0-8.
However, brightness can be adjusted just fine by going to system settings > Brightness Control and moving the slider back and forth.
So the problem is specific only to the function keys.
