Public bug reported:

This might be related to bug #525038. When starting up, the screen goes
black (actually it looks like the backlight is not on) either instantly
when plymouth starts or a few seconds after. The login screen appears, I
typed my password and the screen is still black after logging in.

However, if I press F2 (decrease brightness) or F3 (increase
brightness), not Fn + F2 or F3, then the display will come back on
instantly. If I increase the brightness to its maximum setting and then
decrease the brightness to the minimum setting using F2 & F3
respectively, I get the same effect when plymouth starts (no backlight).

The brightness indicator that ubuntu shows when adjusting the brightness gives me only four levels going from 100% to 0%: 
0 = 100% Brightness
1 = 60% Brightness
2 = 15% Brightness
3 = No backlight;

and 3 levels when going from 0% to 100%
0 = 40%
1 = 80%
2 = 100%

That's all the info I can give for now. If I wanted to get the Fn key
working what package would I report that against?

Thanks
