Title:
  Windows 2012 Grub parameter passes as Windowsx202012

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I was testing Fedora 19 when I realized my brightness controls did not
  work predictably. If I hit brightness down, it did nothing. If I hit
  brightness up, my brightness went to about 1% and stayed there
  indefinitely. Thinking this was similar to what I had to do in Ubuntu
  GNOME 13.04 (add the Windows 2012 Grub parameter), I did so, and it
  fixed it. On Fedora 19, it did not fix it.

  So why might you be asking am I talking about Fedora in an Ubuntu bug
  report?

  I just fired up Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 and tried the same thing, and it
  acts 100% identical.

  jason@JS-E430:~$ cat /proc/cmdline
  BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.9.0-7-generic root=UUID=984ddcf5-7b38-410b-9398-6edb27732c20 ro quiet splash "acpi_osi=!Windows\x202012"

  Now I'm wondering if this is a kernel issue. Both distros are on
  3.9.X. The only work around I have now is to add the brightness
  extension for Gnome and use that to control my brightness.
