Alex, please check if the bios is incompatible with 3.13 wrt brightness.

Please note that either 12.04.2 or acpi_osi='!Windows 2012' are working
fine.

  [HP Pavilion dv6] Brightness control only work on the last two steps
  on 12.04.5

Bug description:
  CID: 201209-11641  HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

  Brightness control does not work on this system.
  The brightness level indicator would change with hotkey events, but the brightness itself would only change with the last two steps.
