Hi:
No doubt you need to install the graphics driver for your model in order to adjust the screen brightness and change the screen resolution.
See if the one from AMD works for you.

When you install an unsupported operating system, you can expect to encounter all kinds of problems.
What model wireless card does your notebook have?
That determines what model bluetooth driver you need to install.

Sorry that driver didn't work.
You can try this graphics driver and if that doesn't work, unfortunately, I won't be able to help you with that issue.
This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver.

As far as the Fn keys being 'flipped,' I have no idea what you mean by that, or what to do about it.
Did you install the software that controls the funtion keys?
This package contains the HP System Event Utility, which enables special function keys on supported notebook models to be programmed. For example, HP System Event Utility enables users to press the Fn+ESC keys to view system information. This software works with the supported operating systems.
