Re: brightness
A recent kernel update broke function keys on my wife's Dell XPS 13. Reverting to the prior kernel worked-around the issue. I haven't had a chance to pursue it any further. So try an earlier kernel.

Patrick needs to run 'lspci|grep vga' to find his chipset and post it to see if others with 'xbacklight' working have same chipset. failing that, joining developers list would get faster reaction than filing a bug report. > If you open a terminal and look in /sys/class/backlight, each directory > there represents a kernel backlight control interface.
