I have a Toshiba Satellite A665 which has the same bug going back to 10.04. I ran through the keymapping steps mentioned above and have identical results to Mouhanad. If there are any logs or testing I can do to help solve this I'd be happy to help. There's a huge thread in the Ubuntu Forums on this and a few users have found a workaround. By booting into a windows partition/MiniXP from Hiren's Boot CD, and toggling the backlight on, then rebooting into Ubuntu, the backlight will work but BIOS is the only way to turn it off. Plus, you have to repeat the process each time.
