Title:
  Taichi 21 external screen is not working properly (probably due
  backlight)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  First of all, I'd like to say that both screen are recognized by xrandr: The internal as eDP1 and the external as DP1. 
  The external screen works under some circumstances, but without backlight. 

  If the computer is off, and I turn on with the lid closed, the external screen "works" 
  If the computer is turned on, on linux, and I restart, the external screen keeps "working".

  If the computer is off and I turn on with the lid opened or the
  computer is on windows, using the external screen, and I restart to
  linux, I can't use the external screen: The image keeps "off".
  Although, the screen is recognized by xrandr, but no setting turns the
  screen on (not even xrandr --output DP1 --auto)

  In the situations that the external screen works, the backlight has no effect on it: 
  When I adjust the backlight (either by the hotkeys, or by echo 50 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness, or echo 3000 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness), it just adjusts the internal screen
  When I use the hotkey to turn off the screen, it just turn off the internal screen

  Also, if I use xrandr to turn off the external screen, or suspend the
  computer, the external screen is turned off. When I try again to turn
  on, or resume it doesn't work.

  I tried to boot with acpi_backlight=vendor, and again just the internal screen worked properly. The hotkey to change the backlight didn't work, but  echo 3000 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness worked
  I tried to boot with video.use_bios_initial_backlight=0 and the backlight worked just for the internal screen again
  I tried to boot with acpi_osi="!Windows 2012", the same thing

  By running dmesg | grep 'ACPI: Video', I get:
  [    4.981826] ACPI: Video Device [GFX0] (multi-head: yes  rom: no  post: no)

  And lspci |  grep VGA shows:
  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)

  I don't know if I should get 2 results in them, since I have two
  screens, but in DSDT, I just see one device with methods _DOS, _DOD,
  so I guess it is right.  There is an if in the BCL, checking if it is
  Windows 8, but I believe acpi_osi="!Windows 2012", should "fix" it if
  that was the problem

  I believe that solving the backlight problem when I'm able to turn on
  the screen might solve the screen not turning on with the lid open.

  I tried to use the current Mainline kernel (3.11.0-999, or something
  like that), but after the boot the external screen was off and the
  internal was on, not showing anything but a black screen.

  I followed the Kernel/Debugging/Backlight page and I'll submit all the
  files that it generated.

  Thank you for your help!
