Apple Keyboard Brightness Controls

[MaxMike]

I have my Mac mini hooked up to a NEC screen that is a little old (MultiSync LCD 1560V+) through VGA with the Mini Display Port to VGA adapter. I bought the Apple keyboard and was wondering about the brightness controls on it. Do they only work with an Apple Cinema Display? Or would the monitor have to be plugged into the computer via USB for these controls to work? Thanks!
