Yes Xorg doesn't use xorg.conf anymore, it uses everything that is
located in xorg.conf.d.
So create a new file or attach this to your keyboard config (it
doesn't matter):

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
EndSection

This should fix your problems. Reboot and enjoy. But if you experience
any trouble and you get thrown into terminal-mode, remove the file.
