After upgrading to linux Kernel-3.14, the screen on my Dell Latitude D630 was nearly unreadably dim. When I Boot the 3.13 kernel, my screen is bright.

I opened a Bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1094066 and others have chimed in that they have the same problem.

I bisected the kernel, and found the following commit is responsible for this problem:

b35684b8fa94e04f55fd38bf672b737741d2f9e2 is the first bad commit
commit b35684b8fa94e04f55fd38bf672b737741d2f9e2

I can find my way around the kernel, but haven't hit this area before.

Any help is appreciated.
