Public bug reported:
I've taken a bold guess in the title of this bug.
While investigating why on 14.04 LTS, I have working backlight on the
latest 3.13 kernel, but not on the 3.16, I tried acpi_backlight=vendor.
With default boot parameters, I just get
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/, and the backlight works correctly
on 3.13, but does not change the brightness on 3.16 (the OSD does show
that the hotkeys are trying to change the brightness).
With acpi_backlight=vendor, I get both intel and /lenovo/.
The key point for this bug report is what happens with the lenovo one:
The hotkeys work and make the backlight change, but not consistently.
Repeatedly using the hotkey to increase the brightness causes the level
to increase, but then occasionally reset to zero (including resetting as
shown in the OSD - i.e. the OSD is always showing the level that the
backlight actually is).
Occasionally the OSD shows the "enable touchpad" icon when pressing the
increase brightness hotkey repeatedly. The same action also causes the
wifi to enable/disable randomly.
If I press the hotkey with pauses in between, things behave normally.
