ok. Now Im on my 16.10 system again.

1. this is the comand I use for 70% it also works for numbers higher than 1
down to 0

xrandr --output eDP-1 --brightness 0.7

for this current system
Linux X1-16 4.13.0-43-generic #48~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 17 12:56:46
UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have not used it prior to 16.10 but I think it worked. All systems newer
than 16.10 so far failed to Support my screen.

something like this discussion.

This looks like a solution to me, but I have not tried it because before
ubuntu 18 there was several other issues that made it unrunnable on my
machine.

real bug report and I am happy to help.
