As a workaround, creating an xorg.conf file and specifying
intel_backlight seems to work, but I would love for this to work out
of the box. Does something need to be changed in the kernel to recognize
that this model of Toshiba uses the Intel Backlight?

Alan Pater, could you please provide the full computer model (ex.
Toshiba Portege R700-S1331), Serial Number, and country of origin of the
computer as noted on the sticker of the computer itself (not from the
Bug Description)?

I'm afraid that the stickers are mostly worn off. The Portege R700 sticker is
intact, but I don't see a legible model or serial number.
There is a P/N that starts with PT311... Is that the model number?
I highly suspect that it was originally sold in the USA, though I bought
it second hand
Alan Pater, would there be anything under the battery that would have
this information?

No, nothing under the battery. Did Toshiba make a significant number of
different versions of the R700?

Alan Pater, let us put the full computer model aside for now. Hence, the
issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please report this
problem to the linux-acpi mailing list (not bugzilla) by following the
instructions _verbatim_ at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel
?
Please
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.18 kernel[0].
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.
If the mainline kernel does not fix
Upstream kernel linux-image-3.18.0-031800rc1-generic locked up the
system when playing with the backlight control.
