[Bug 1244645] Re: Brightness is at 100 percent and will not change

 

I found the fix myself, Create /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
with the following text:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "card0"
    Driver      "intel"
    Option      "Backlight"  "intel_backlight"
    BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"

EndSection
