[Bib <1163720@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As I didn't want double boot with windows I kept my L322X in legacy boot mode before I repartitionned to remove the furbished DIAGS and boot FAT partitions so that I reclaim the whole SSD for sda1 and swap (for hibernation) then I fresh installed ubuntu Raring over Precise.
No need to say I'm a bit suspicious about the upgrade to Trusty Tahr

Bug description:
  Since 3.8.0-16, the brightness control doesn’t work anymore.
  The popup is displayed, so the shortcut keys do work correctly, but it has no effect on the actual brightness of the screen.

  Switching back to 3.8.0-15 solves the issue.
