Public bug reported:

Since installing the latest kernel 3.8.0-30 on my Dell XPS 13, I can
only use the screen on lowest dim/brightness. Hardware keys as well as
System Settings have no effect on the dim level.

I already had issues with the brightness settings before. To make
hardware keys and System Settings brightness settings work I added

echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

to /etc/rc.local and a custom /etc/pm/sleep.d/resume_brightness script.


Things tried
- remove "echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness" from previously mentioned scripts
- add grub boot options "acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi='!Windows 2012'"

Workaround:

- keep utilizing "echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness" in both scripts
- boot using the 3.8.0-29 kernel

This is a regression.
