Description:
I'm aware a similar problem occured with some laptops and that it was fixed (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/37224) already with upstream patches, but in my SVE14113EBB laptop when I press the Fn + F5/F6 nothing happens. I can change the brightness with the Gnome menu slider but whenever I press the key combination to bring up/down the screen brightness nothing happens, not even the OSD appears like when I use the Fn + F3/F4 keys to raise/lower the volume.

By the way, I tried all the suggestions here (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_Graphics) like passing 'acpi_backlight=vendor' as a kernel parameter but none worked.

Additional info:
gnome-desktop 1:3.10.1-2
gnome-settings-daemon 3.10.2-3
mutter 3.10.2-2
This task depends upon
