Florent Flament, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available 
from the very top line at the top of the page (not the daily folder) following 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional 
upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream 
kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this 
bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For 
example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.16-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next 
to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please 
remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  [Toshiba Satellite Z930-164] Backlight control does not work, but
  there are entries in /sys/class/backlight

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Following bug reporting process:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight#Reporting_Backlight_Bugs

  Running Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity.

  
  Testing for a work around:

  * With kernel parameter acpi_backlight=vendor
    -> Brightness control is working with both applet and hotkeys.

    - # echo 8 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
      -> The command sets the screens brightness very low (almost turns
         it off).

  * With kernel parameter video.use_bios_initial_backlight=0
    -> Brightness control is neither working with applet nor hotkeys.

  * With kernel parameter video.use_native_backlight=1
    -> Brightness control is working with both applet and hotkeys.
