@Christopher M. Penalver: Thanks for closing duplicate bug. I already
did the BIOS Update
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1224415

After additional tests (bisecting main versions), I have more information now. I tested all the kernels I build with Kubuntu 13.10.
Current status is:

Kernel Quantal Quetzal 3.5.0_43.66: Working perfect, full brightness at
startup and Fn+ function keys working (commit 7772e0d UBUNTU:
Ubuntu-3.5.0-43.66)

Kernel Raring Ringtail 3.8.0.33: NOT Working, zero brightness at
startup, backlight working, Fn+ function keys working to raise
brightness. (commit dd8a621 UBUNTU: Ubuntu-3.8.0-33.48)

I'am going to bisect between those to now, but again, my laptop isn't
that fast ... :), this might take some days. Or anyone with better
ideas?

Title:
  8086:0a16 [Acer Aspire V5-573G] Black screen on boot due to low
  brightness setting

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On boot, following the bios screen and grub screen to choose ubuntu,
  the screen goes completely black, but the fn-arrow keys can be used to
  turn the backlight up. This is on Asus Aspire V5 573G. I believe this
  is a duplicate of bug #1224415 but I was told explicitly to file a
  separate bug (see
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1224415/comments/11)
