Hey Nick,
if this is a stupid question please disregard.
Did you try the function button on the keyboard.
That's all I have to do on this old HP laptop.
[mine is fn + f8]
Thanks, Dan.
Applications icon>Settings Manager>Desktop. There is a slider at the bottom of the window.
also if you are trying the buttons on your keyboard to make the screen brighter, I believe that requires you to install a graphics card driver!
just saw this literally 2 seconds ago on another part of the forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2080301

On my HP laptop the brightness keys (Fn+{F2,F3}) work without installing any drivers, but that might depend on your graphics chip (although I don't think that screen backlight is controlled by your graphics). Otherwise you can put the xfce4-brightness-plugin on the xfce panel. It's in the package xfce4-goodies. It allows you to change brightness with the mouse.
There is a XFCE4 plugin that lets you increase the brightness of the monitor easily.
To install it just type at a terminal window:
After installation just right-click with the mouse on the top panel. Then navogate to Panel >> add new items, and search for "Brightness Plugin".Code:sudo apt-get install xfce4-power-manager-plugins
The plugin will appear in the upper right, so you can easily adjust the brightness of your monitor.
