narel, as per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x220 an update to your BIOS is available (1.39). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, 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

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

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, then please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Thnikpad X220 - brightness control doesn't work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Ubuntu 14.10 brightness control no longer works on
  Lenovo Thinkpad X220. Fn+Home/Fn+End doesn't work, the only way is to
  echo value to:

  /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-LVDS-1/intel_backlight/brightness

  I use Awesome WM, but it doesn't seem to be related to Awesome.
