--- Comment #6 from Jozef Peterka <[email protected]> ---
Hello all and thanks for this thread.

I don't know what you would need, but as I have the same XPS 15 9550 with
Intel/Nvidia 960M I can confirm that when I removed nomodeset kernel parameter
the backlight started to work on Fedora 23, kernel 4.3.5.

When I installed bumblebee stuff, the nouveau was disabled all around, but the
original kernel parameter I set to be even able to start X (with nouveau) was
left in GRUB config. In this state, when I tried to ls /sys/class/backlight it
was all empty.

Now that I removed nomodeset param, I got:
[kai@localhost ~]$ ls /sys/class/backlight/
intel_backlight

which works flawlessly.

I can also comment on why the original reporter most probably had the
nomodeset. This has to be related to nouveau driver because when I want to
start Fedora23/Install in X, I had to use nomodeset boot options, otherwise the
GUI/X won't start with lots and lots of error messages on the background.

Anyways, thanks to all of you and also the original reporter for this thread!
