A permanent fix that worked in the case I tried was:

First open the script which automatically runs on startup by running this in 
terminal:
sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Then just before "exit 0" add:
sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=00

Finally, save that and close. Try restarting your computer - hopefully
it should now automatically set the backlight to the correct brightness.

Hope it helps,
Timothy
