Marcus Pollice, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.  Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from
the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are
irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder)
following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow
additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested exactly shown as:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.18-rc7

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil
icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Function buttons for brightness etc stopped to work

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In 14.04 using kernel 3.13 the special function buttons of this HP
  Compaq nx6310 laptop used to work correctly. I could increase or
  decrease brightness, invoke the battery settings (mostly useless but
  it worked), switch to an external display or enter sleep mode. The key
  functions are invoked using Fn + the key with the designated function
  as listed below.

  Fn + F3 - Sleep - button/sleep SBTN 00000080 00000000 K
  Fn + F4 - Switch to external display - video/switchmode VMOD 00000080 00000000
  Fn + F8 - Battery information - button/battery BAT 00000080 00000000 K
  Fn + F9 - Brightness down - video/brightnessdown BRTDN 00000087 00000000
  Fn + F10 - Brightness up - video/brightnessup BRTUP 00000086 00000000

  I went through the troubleshooting steps described at
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting. In 14.10 none of
  these buttons work. Using acpi_listen I found that no events are fired
  in 14.10, but under 14.04 these buttons do indeed fire ACPI events and
  thus work correctly. The ACPI events listed above are fired in 14.04
  using kernel 3.13 but are not fired under 14.10 using kernel 3.16.

  Using xbacklight I can still change the brightness in 14.10, if that
  information is of any help.
