Hi,
changing the screen brightness in the Ubuntu settings does not change the
brightness of the screen.
Changing the brightness for example with the fn keys changes the value in
/sys/class/backlight/dell_backlight/brightness but not the screen brightness.
There is also a /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight but changing the
brightness file there manually also has no effect.
The acpi_backlight=vendor option did not work out.
