Public bug reported: First I could only change the brightness level by one step. (From 100% to 95%.) After I added 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_backlight=vendor"' in /etc/default/grub the keys work as expected, but the notification showing the brightness level displays the wrong value. Attached a picture with max brightness.
