--- Comment #17 from Jozef Peterka <[email protected]> ---
I would say Aaron is right - this is definitely not a bug of Intel driver -
which works for me on the same hardware - same laptop. I am no expert but I
would say you are using nouveau driver, which is activated upon the Fedora
(and probably other distros too) installation and upon detection of Nvidia
chip in your (our) laptop. By following this guide:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bumblebee#For_closed_source_solution

you would essentially disable nouveau driver, which is buggy to say the
least on your very recent hardware, activate Intel driver and install
Nvidia closed sourced (proprietary) driver. After this remove the nomodeset
option from kernel line in grub and I am sure your back-light will work
just fine. Not to mention the possibility to use your high performance
graphics on demand by using primusrun/optirun commands. If not, I would
suggest opening a thread in support forums of the distro - other, more
smart people might help you.

Anyways, if a bug should be filled, it should be filled in against nouveau
driver, which needs nomodeset option on our laptop to even boot into X, not
the Intel one which works fine (at least in regards mentioned earlier). Or
you could fill a bug against Fedora - in a sense that you should be able to
choose between nouvau/Intel driver during the install process perhaps.
