    I do not know how to set keys to adjust brightness, but you can type in terminal:
    xbacklight -set 10 //set brightness to 10% of the maximum

    FWIW, It looks like some Ubuntu Linuxers with ASUS netbooks use kernel
    cheat codes and bios updates to solve their brightness problems.

    You might look into that and report back if that helps solve the problem
    for Knoppix. And good luck.
