Public bug reported: I made the next steps for making backligth work:
execute sudo gedit /etc/default/grub Change this line : GRUB_CMLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to something like: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor" Execute sudo update-grub and reboot I made it, because backlight doesn't working after new installation of Ubuntu 13.04. How to fix it?
