Bug Description

The F5/F6 brightness keys no longer work, and the screen will blank about 10s after I use <Fn><F5> or <Fn><F6>. I have to reboot to get the screen back.

This didn't seem to be a problem before kernel 4.2, but not sure if it was working on earlier 4.2 kernels (when I boot earlier 4.2 versions now, I still get the same problem).

System details:-
Lubuntu 64bit 15.10
steve@steve-X401A1:~$ uname -a
Linux steve-X401A1 4.2.0-22-generic #27-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 17 22:57:08 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
