removing the workaround (intel.conf file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/) and booting with the latest vivid kernel (3.18.0-031800rc7-generic #201411302035) did not fix the problem.
Can someone explain me why the workaround works? Is the brightness normally handled by the kernel and does my workaround tell the intel driver to handle it?
