Hi All,
Please try with the EnableBrightnessControl =1 as kernel parameter or add it in
xorg.conf file.
You can add it in device section as shown below -
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "NVIDIA RTX A3000 Laptop GPU"
Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
EndSection
After change in the xorg, please uninstall / install the driver.

Title:
no brightness control in {455,460} after update from 450

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-455 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-460 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
On my Lenovo X1 Extreme with GPU: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce
GTX 1050 Ti Mobile]:
WORKS FINE:
nvidia-driver-450: 450.102.04-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
NO BRIGHTNESS CONTROL:
nvidia-driver-455: 455.38-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
nvidia-driver-460: 460.32.03-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
nvidia-driver-460: 460.39-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
*WORKAROUND: See comment #11 (add nvidia drivers to initramfs).
*Note that 460 fixes it for a 20.04 ThinkPad P73 per comment #6, but
not for my 18.04.5 Lenovo ThinkPad X1 per comment #5.
Updating to nvidia-driver-455 (or -460) results in loss of brightness
control. On boot, the laptop display brightness is somewhat less than
fully bright and cannot be changed. The brightness up/down keys do
pop up the gnome gui brightness widget, and
/sys/class/backlight/nvidia_0/* values do change, but the actual
display's brightness does not.
Problem occurs with either version of nvidia-driver-455 (the archive
or the ~graphics-drivers/PPA) or any version of -460.
Normal functionality returns if I downgrade to any version of nvidia-
driver-450.
Also observed: 455 and 460 temporarily display some pixel garbage
while mode-switching during the graphic login sequence. Only a minor
glitch, but note that 450 does not exhibit that issue either.
Note also that manually applying this to
/lib/systemd/system/nvidia-persistenced.service has no effect on the problem:
