@Christopher M. Penalvch
Why did you remove the l322x 1080p tags? Didn't you see Adrian Patracu's report is for this very machine, what Kamal confirms in post #2. I added the l322x tag to clarify between backlight issues confusion with the l321x, because these 2 machines are called xps13 by Dell, what seems to me, regarding these issues, the source of confusion.

Title:
  8086:0166 [Dell XPS 13 L322X] backlight stopped working after update
  3.8.0-18.28

Status in Dell Sputnik:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm on 13.04 beta 2 and I've been updating daily. After today's
  update, I was asked to restart and, after the restart, the backlight
  stopped working. What's worse is that the backlight is stuck in the
  lowest possible setting. I can barely see enough to type out this bug
  report. This is not a hardware problem. When I restart the computer
  the backlight turns on property  but burns off when the Ubuntu
  encryption screen comes up (I'm using full disk encryption). Please
  fix this as soon as possible.
