I have patches to the ACPI DSDT tables of my HP Envy and to the radeonkms driver to control brightness via the Fn+Brightness keys.  You're using a different GPU, so the KMS bit would be different (probably unnecessary).  Try loading acpi_video(4) and seeing if the brightness keys work.  I can help you with ACPI bit.
