[Jeremie Tamburini <jeremie.tamburini@xxxxxxxxx>]

On my Fujitsu Lifebook A512 I should be able to adjust the brightness
pressing Fn+F6 or Fn+F7. The brightness-indicator pop-up works but the
brightness doesn't change. This should be related to the cpi_video0 /
intel_backlight issue.

I found a workaround here
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2192471

Basically it works creating the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
file with the following lines:

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

This makes the brightness shortcuts Fn+F6 and Fn+F7 work.

Title:
  backlight control acpi_video0 instead intel_backlight

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to new release (13.10), when i control brightness,
  system change value in file
  /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness instead of
  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness by default. On 13.04
  or older brightness works good.
