** Description changed:

+ == Raring SRU Justification ==
+ 
+ Impact: A bug in the ACPI tables causes the ACPI backlight interface to
+ fail to apply brightness changes with kernels claiming Windows 8
+ compatibility. This interface is generally the first choice of
+ userspace, and users are unable to adjust the brightness using GUI
+ tools.
+ 
+ Fix: Quirk the affected model to disable Windows 8 compatibility. This
+ causes the AML to fall back to the pre-Win8 behavior, which functions
+ correctly.
+ 
+ Test case: Verify on an affected machine. Verified on LP #1183856.

  FN-Keys don't work for me on my ThinkPad T430.
  
  When i'm on battery mode the screen does not dim down to save power,
  even not with the workaround.
  
  The problem exists since the release of Ubuntu 13.04
  
  My actual Kernel: 3.8.0-22-generic
  
  For the T430s the problem seems to be fixed:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1098216
  
  WORKAROUND:
  
  Add to /etc/default/grub
  in the variable "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT":
  
  acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2012\"
  
  e.g:
  
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2012\""
  
  Then run "sudo update-grub".
