OK, it seems that flux is now holding control over the brightness instead of windows. I had to enable the F9 through F12 option in the screenshot below, because alt+pgUp etc.. was not working for me.
Now I can control the brightness with alt + F11 and alt + F12.
Hope that helps 0_1564779524135_8ae338b8-485b-4c40-a8e9-f08e94c06ade-image.png
