Using the intel driver for changing backlight solves the problem !!!

There are 3 drivers on my laptop to change the backlight:
1) default driver: ACPI Video
   /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0
2) vendor driver: dell_laptop (kernel parameter: acpi_backlight=vendor)
   /sys/class/backlight/dell_backlight
3) intel driver - /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight

The drivers 1 and 2 freeze the laptop. (probably: hardware or BIOS table is
broken)

To use the intel driver, add the Option "Backlight" to xorg.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-intel.conf:
Section "Device"
        Option     "AccelMethod"        "uxa"
        Option     "Backlight"          "intel_backlight"
        Identifier "Card0"
        Driver     "intel"
        BusID      "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
