Public bug reported:
When I press the screen backlight up/down buttons, gnome-shell pops up
the backlight control window saying that the backlight is being
adjusted, but the actual screen brightness does not change.
The problem is that gnome is adjusting
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness instead of
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness. If I manually change
the latter as root with, say:
root@xps-9560:~ echo 600 >
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
then the brightness changes.
The brightness control worked fine in Cosmic on this laptop, so this is
a regression.

Title:
