Description David 2008-04-11 11:37:36 UTC 
I have a Samsung R70 laptop, and xorg just ignores when I press the FN key + BRIGHT UP (and down), while it works if I press that keys in a TTY.

So as it is working in a tty (for example ctrl + alt + F1) and not working inside a running Xorg session (in my case a KDE one), leads me to think it is a xorg bug.

Xorg doesn't interpret brightness keystrokes on its own, this would be a KDE issue.
