Joseph: Thanks a lot for the following ups. Actually, I forgot to
mention that I've tried acpi_backlight=vendor on 13.10 (as my friend $4
suggested) and the same problem persists. As to the keyboard light, it's
set to maximum at login (lightdm?) screen, which it different from
screen backlight. But as you said that the cause would be similar so I
reported it together.

Title:
  [MacBook Air 6,2] screen backlight brightness and keyboard light turn
  into fully-on after Grub boot with i915 driver

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Problem: Both the screen backlight brightness and keyboard light are
  turned on during the booting as tested on ubuntu 12.04.3, 12.04.4, and
  13.10. Due to installation problem on 12.04, it's only tested with the
  live system.

  What's expected: the brightness state before booting is preserved.

  Some trials: the problem should be on i915 driver even in single user mode. Tried "nomodeset" kerenel arguement can avoid the problem, but X will fail to start.
