Hi, thanks for your bug report. Depending on your specific MacBook model, there 
could be a directory in /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/ , for example called 
apple_backlight. If so, you can try to write to the file 'brightness' in there 
and see if your backlight changes, like this:
  $ echo 8 | sudo tee /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/apple_backlight/brightness
if your backlight changes, the mechanism to change it works but the keys don't. 
If not, then it's more a driver/hardware issue.
