I can also confirm that the suggestion posted by "Pierre Chifflier"
works. Though myself not being a computer geek I had problems
implementing it. Below is the example of how it looks on my xorg.conf
file and this works for me.
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "1"
Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-2"
Option "metamodes" "DFP-0: 1680x1050 +1920+15, DFP-2: 1920x1080
+0+0"
Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
Note: this is just an example for those who don't know where the
following line appears
Look above for => Option "RegistryDwords"
"EnableBrightnessControl=1"
Thanks everyone, Special Thanks to "Pierre Chifflier"
Cheers,
Hemant

Ubuntu displays the notification area with the brightness setting displayed,
it even shows that the brightness value is changed - but the actual brightness
of the screen remains the same at all times!
