Sorry I wasn't clear.

The test I made from the saucy DVD was with upgraded BIOS (1.22). It's
doesn't work right of the box, I am guessing that the kernel parameters
above would make it work. That's how I made it work on my current
raring.

Output is:

V1.22

Title:
  [Aspire V5-431]13.04: Brightness control visible but does nothing

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Brightness control visible but does nothing on 13.04...

  The brightness up down buttons shows the overlay brightness icon going
  up and down but it does not change the brightness (backlight).

  I have tried adjusting the kernel options acpi_osi=<x> and
  acpi_backlight=<y> (that did work with 12.10) to make it work but to
  no avail.
