Cannot adjust brightness on Toshiba


I recently purchased a Toshiba C55-B5200 laptop and installed Xubuntu 14.04 on it. But, with the following problems.

FN-FX Keys do not work. I tried fnfxd, but it failed saying no /proc/acpi/toshiba/kcd, which is not there only keys and version, but the toshiba acpi module is installed.

I can not find anywhere to change the screen brightness. Not in system settings display, not anywhere. The screen is so damn dim on Xubuntu it is almost unusable except in very low light conditions.
