I have updated the PPA with a new gnome-power-manager package which enables the new intel_backlight interface for brightness control regardless of the presence other backlight interfaces (so the various acpi_backlight=vendor and *backlight=disable kernel boot parameters should no longer be required for Gnome desktop users). Thanks again to Matthew Garrett for the original intel_backlight patches.
This updated version should enable the brightness controls for a wider range of Intel GPU based laptops.
