To see whether it's a kernel issue, try the following: - Install evtest package - Go to Linux console (e.g. VT1), be root. - Run evtest /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd (the device path might be different, but you must have a similar one.) - Press brightness up/down key. If this shows the proper key events (KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP and KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN), then the kernel reports correctly. The problem is rather in the upper layer, either X or KDE. If the keys aren't reported, then it's a kernel problem.
