  Backlight control does not work, but there are entries in
  /sys/class/backlight.

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Backlight control does not work, but there are entries in
  /sys/class/backlight.

  This may require the ACPI backlight driver to not take control so that
  a vendor specific driver will have a chance to register.

  I wanto mention that this goes beyond just the applet not working.  My
  data does change in Ubuntu for those entries and the acpi interface to
  the Linux Kernel is not able to use that changed data to change the
  hardware brightness setting.

  This may require the ACPI backlight driver to not take control so that
  a vendor specific driver will have a chance to register.

  I wanto mention that this goes beyond just the applet not working.  My
  data does change in Ubuntu for those entries and the acpi interface to
  the Linux Kernel is not able to use that changed data to change the
  hardware brightness setting.

Abdurrahman Çarkacıoğlu, could you please confirm this issue exists with
the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains,
could you please run the following command in the development release
from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will
automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report:

apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional 
upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, 
but the one all the way at the bottom. 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-v3.11-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

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why 
specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

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:
  Backlight control does not work, but there are entries in
  /sys/class/backlight.

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Backlight control does not work, but there are entries in
  /sys/class/backlight.

  This may require the ACPI backlight driver to not take control so that
  a vendor specific driver will have a chance to register.

  I wanto mention that this goes beyond just the applet not working.  My
  data does change in Ubuntu for those entries and the acpi interface to
  the Linux Kernel is not able to use that changed data to change the
  hardware brightness setting.
