Bug description:
  The backlight brightness is not changeable by default on a Dell XPS 13 running Precise beta 1 (or later). If I run the following command as root, I can adjust the brightness:
      /bin/echo 0 > /sys/class/baclight/intel_backlight/brightness
  However, I must do this whenever I turn on the computer or resume it from suspend.
