The same here with Laptop Fujitsu Lifebook E8420. The FN-Keys don't change the backlight. The symbol occurs on the screen, but the backlight doesn't change the brightness. In gnome-shell the slider in the upper right menu works fine. lspci 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) Fedora 20 beta, kernel 3.11.9
Many minor releases have shipped for RHEL6. If you still believe this to be a critical problem, please submit a new BZ against the latest version. Thanks
