The screen brightness is fixed at 100% from the very beginning and the keyboard buttons neither change it before login nor after login.
(However the keyboard buttons are recognized because they move the brightness slider in Control Center).

Title:
  screen brightness cannot be changed anymore

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The screen brightness does not reliably respond to adjustments anymore since 14.10 release. 
  Previously in 14.04 it was adjustable via a slider in Ubuntu Control Center and via the keyboard buttons (so there is driver and keyboard support for this laptop). 
  Now the keyboard buttons as well as the slider have no effect and the brightness defaults to 100% which is on this device about five times brighter than the comfortable level, and strains the battery.

  However about 1 in 20 bootups/logins, the brightness is adjustable,
  but when I logout/login again in the user session, it might again
  become locked to 100%. I have the suspicion that it depends on the
  loading of desktop configs or the time I wait before typing my
  password to login.
