Title:
  LCD brightness control keys and widget do not work on Intel Graphics
  on Saucy

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Saucy, on my Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 with Intel HD
  Graphics 3000, it is no longer possible to control the LCD brightness
  using the hardware brightness control keys. Likewise for the KDE power
  management settings or the battery icon on my Kubuntu Plasma tray. (I
  don't use GNOME/Unity.) Until Raring I did not have this problem.

  There is a workaround available from
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/362894/changing-the-brightness-stopped-
  working-in-13-10-saucy-salamander i.e. doing the following command on
  a terminal:

  echo 150 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

  where 150 is on the scale of 0 to whatever is given within
  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness.

  Based on this I wrote a GUI which however needs to be run using
  sudo/kdesudo/gksudo. I have attached it.

  Bug #1241745 also relates to the same problem on Saucy but apparently relates to an NVidia driver and I was asked to track this as a separate bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1241745/comments/17
