The adding of acpi_backlight=vendor into grub boot option FIXED the
problem in my Dell Inspiron 15R. I'm using the 3.11.0-9-generic 64 bits
kernel.

Without the proposed fix, the only way I have found to turn brightness
to MAX was setting the config below as ROOT:

                       echo 4882 >
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

(the previous default value of
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness was 574)
