Thanks for the test.
Please check /sys/class/backlight, is there only one link file
intel_backlight? If so, please cd inside and try modify the brightness
file using echo with some values in the range of 0 - max_brightness,
does the backlight level change when you echo a new value? I guess it
doesn't, or you wouldn't notice problem. If indeed so, perhaps file a
bug at http://bugzilla.kernel.org, Drivers/Video(DRI-Intel)? I suppose
Jani and Daniel can help fix your problem.
Thanks,
Aaron
