Hi Norbert, Your solution works for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Sony Vaio Series T laptop, Intel graphics 4000.

Many of them are based on systemd. It does not matter what init system they use, but all of them have very usefull script (or binary program, I don't know) for saving and restoring backlight level on laptop. In these distros there is a script for save and restore backlight levels for two video-cards (acpi_video0 and acpi_video1). During system boot it is indicated as follows: " [ OK ] Started Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of acpi_video1. [ OK ] Started Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of acpi_video0. ". I have a draft version, which works normally on my VAIO F13Z1R laptop with Ubuntu 12.04.4. It is in attachment. You can use it unmodified or modify it for compatibility or something. I made symlinks for it: ln -s /etc/init.d/brightness /etc/rc0.d/S25backlight ln -s /etc/init.d/brightness /etc/rcS.d/S25backlight ln -s /etc/init.d/brightness /etc/rc6.d/S25backlight For details you can read my comment on askubuntu (http://askubuntu.com/a/227553/66509). I think that having a script for saving and restoring backlight level is very useful for laptop Ubuntu users. So, please, add such init script to default Ubuntu installation.
