Thanks, I also tried via *touch* the file .Xmodmap under my home
directory with
$ more .Xmodmap
232 XF86MonBrightnessDown
233 XF86MonBrightnessUp
Not work. Furthermore,
$ xev | grep -A2 '^KeyRelease'
KeyRelease event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
root 0xb4, subw 0x0, time 307378, (132,112), root:(763,477),
state 0x0, keycode 232 (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown),
same_screen YES,
