it depends. It's a hardware question and the interpretation of the F5
key for brightness management is up to a special driver which the maker
provides, or not.
On my Thinkpad and under Debian Wheezy, all special keys are working.
When I tested earlier versions of otker distos this wasn't the case.

Usually nowadays, laptops have  a "Fn" labelled key (lower left part of
the keyboard) that allows switching from Special functions keys
(brightness, volume, etc.) to normal function keys. On my Thinkpad, the
default behaviour is special functions keys. To get the normal function
keys I'd have to press the <Fn>+<Function key> combination which I found
annoying. Fortunately, this behaviour may be toggled in the Thinkpad
BIOS, which I did. Now, pressing a function key alone gives me the
normal function result and to get any of the extended functionalities I
have to press the <Fn>+<Function key> combination.
