I've tried changing my laptop brightness with the Fn+up/down keys on several distros and it has never worked. It only works in Windows. I'm on Debian Testing now. Ideas?
Here's lspci's output:

There's some additional info...
edit 2/21 - When I use the brightness keys, the brightness icon pops up in the middle of the screen. It just doesn't change the brightness. This leads me to believe that Debian recognizes the input, but it just doesn't know what to do with the input. Is there any way to change the brightness manually?
