Well, I did, '2014-09-17 15:38 UTC' and '2014-09-17 15:39 UTC' patches apply ok and it works. Sorry for the inconvenience. (perhaps one should consider pushing these two upstream instead of the fist one?)...

The Fn+F5/F6 control keys still work, in that the display gets dimmer and brighter, but the maximum brightness is too low. When starting ubuntu using the previous kernel release the display brightness is alright. I've looked around the web for ways to change the display brightness and I checked that both files "/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness" and "/sys/class/backlight/radeon_bl0/brightness" have the maximum values, 15 and 255 respectively. The release I am running is : Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS The XORG package version is : 1:7.7+1ubuntu8 Please feel free to contact me for any further information.
