acpidump of aspire one d257

Hello all, I hope I am posting this in the right place.  I have an Acer Aspire
One, model D257 with intel integrated graphics.  The backlight control buttons
always worked out of the box with no special kernel parameters until 3.13.

Upon upgrading to 3.13, specifically 3.13.5-1 on arch x86_64

-brightness went to max
-fn brightness keys are non-responsive
-# ls /sys/class/backlight/
acpi_video0  intel_backlight

Before the patch, acpi_video0 did not exist.  I believe it to be the culprit.

I added the video.use_native_backlight=1 parameter to my kernel line in grub.
Nothing changed.

I then added 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
        Identifier  "card0"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option      "Backlight"  "intel_backlight"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"

EndSection

With the xorg pointer and the kernel parameter, my computer now boots at
previously set backlight level, but the fn+brightness keys still do not work.

Thanks.  Here is the discussion thread about my
problem:https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1388092

I'm attempting to attach my acpidump here, it looks like gibberish to me, but I
hope it helps.

This is my first time posting a bug, so please let me know what other
information you would find helpful.
