** Description changed:

  After upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10, setting the screen brightness has no
  effect (either via the hotkeys, "Brightness & Lock" settings, or via
  /sys/devices/pnp0/00:07/backlight/gmux_backlight/brightness ).
  
  I'm using nvidia driver 319.32-0ubuntu7.
  I've tried Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1" in xorg.conf as well as the kernel argument acpi_backlight=vendor .
  
  I have the following in /sys:
  $ find /sys -name brightness
  /sys/devices/pnp0/00:07/backlight/gmux_backlight/brightness
  /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:03:00.1/leds/mmc0::/brightness
  /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
  
+ WORKAROUND: setpci -v -H1 -s 00:01.00 BRIDGE_CONTROL=0
+
