Public bug reported:
At night, I usually turn my brightness down as far as it will go using
the brightness keys. This makes it dim, but visible and not off. When I
walk away for a while, the screen goes to sleep, and when I come back
and move the mouse, the screen jumps to full brightness, which is very
unpleasant at night. Investigating, it seems that the brightness in
intel_backlight is getting reset to 4437, but the one in acpi_video0
reads 0.

After I press the button to increase the brightness one notch, they are
back in sync, and then I can turn it back down as well.

This is on a fresh install of xubuntu 18.04. Seems like a regression
from 16.04, which I ran on the same laptop without this issue.
