Thanks for replying Joël,
Actually, I would do that, but the problem is that I'm not able to
decrease the brightness
just manually.
Could you help me to test if this work?

For instance if I do:
echo 2 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
the brightness doesn't decrease.

Once I've got this working we can proceed to bind the Fn keys.

Cheers,

Flavio
