Unable to adjust brightness in Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Lubuntu13.04
I've recently upgraded to Xubuntu 13.04 and noticed that I'm unable to use the brightness keys to adjust the brightness of my screen. I've tried just about everything this thread suggest and I'm still unable to find a solution. If it helps at all I'm using an ASUS eeepc 1025c.
Thanks for your time.

That means it is possible for the system to capture your brightness keys and run a command when you press them, now if you get find a grub boot parameter(s) that letsxbacklightwork, you can add a keyboard shortcut forxbacklight -incandxbacklight -decthe shortcut being your brightness keys

You can changing the brightness using the command line on this thread. It's not a perfect solution but it will allow you to give you control in adjusting. You can always write a bash script afterwards.
