[Bug 1221795] Re: brightness stepping is incorrect (double what it should be)
For my Thinkpad T430s, I can confirm that adding acpi_backlight=vendor
as a grub boot option fixes the problem. I only have the Intel GPU
enabled.
However, applying this boot options result in the OSD not correctly
showing the current brightness state (s. attachment); it has always the
same state.

Title:
brightness stepping is incorrect (double what it should be)
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Problem: When I press the laptop screen brighteness, each step yield
an event that is displayed on the OSD but the screen brightness
doesn't change until the third press. Same happens for decreasing or
increasing the brightness.
Exepcted behaviour: Each press of the brightness button on the laptop,
yield a visible change in the brightness of the LCD scree.
Workaround: This seems documented and works perfectly. The work around
is to type this in terminal:
sudo sh -c 'echo -n 0 >
/sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled'
More details are here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/173921/why-does-

I think this should be fixed in 13.10.
