(Get the code!)
I have Ubuntu 14.04 on two Samsung notebooks: a Series 9, model NP900X4B-A02US ,and an ATIV Book 9 2014 Edition, model NP940X5J-K02US.
In the NP940X5J, Ubuntu is running with UEFI enabled. I confirm that Kieran Clancy's solution works on that notebook.
In the NP900X4B, Ubuntu is running with UEFI disabled, but the keyboard backlight function keys do not work due to a key binding issue. In order to make them work, I had to run the following commands (which I placed in a init script):
sudo setkeycodes e017 229
sudo setkeycodes e016 230
The key binding problem appears to be a bug. It happens with plain Ubuntu 14.04, even when booted from an USB stick with the dowloaded distro.
