  Hello, i had and have and will this problem on every laptop and with
  every version of ubuntu and  its derivatives.
  
  I installed lubuntu 14.04 on IBM lenovo laptop with intel graphic card
  and my backlight could be changed with function keys but it goes either
  to maximum or minimum.
  
  it is similar to my bug previous bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/990932
  but this time i can change it before and after login but as i said either to max or min ...
  
  i tried couple of things to solve the problem via trial and error:
  - edited grub conf file and changed "acpi_backlight=legacy" line to ""acpi_backlight=vendor"  
  -  i created a file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf   here and edited it like this:
  
  Section "Device"
      Identifier  "card0"
      Driver      "intel"
      Option      "Backlight" #  "intel_backlight"
      BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
  EndSection
  
  (i tried both of "Backlight" and  "intel_backlight" options)
  
  -and when i start the xubuntu power manager and try  to set backlight
  (which is installed in lubuntu) i can see  the backlight widget on the
  screen but it doesn't effect anything, still backlight goes to max or
  min, but the widget's animation cannot go further than one step, it
  stucks on the first step.
  
  - i tried to change the value of brightness file under the directory /sys/class/backlight/ideapad
  but sudo does not work here, it says permission denied, but when i read the value of actual_brightness file i can see 0 or 10 ( of course just these)
  
  First of all i don't think this is related to kernel, and i don't wanna
  try upstream kernel. I think it is related to xserver package and ubuntu
  acpi management and many configurations file in ubuntu that i don't know
  exactly how many are and where they are...
  
  Thanks in advance
