Bug description:
  Failed to adjust brightness.

  Unable to change brightness with hotkeys or even system settings.

  Additional information:
  There are two backlight interfaces and the system seems to use the wrong one.
  /sys/class/backlight$ ls

  Following commands proof that intel interfaces can controll the backlight:
  sudo sh -c "echo 2500 >> /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness"
