Title:
  [Lenovo IdeaPad y510p] Brightness settings do not affect the actual
  display brightness

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When I press Fn+Up/Down on my keyboard (the brightness adjust hotkey),
  the brightness settings the slider moves, however the actual
  brightness of my laptop display remains the same.

  As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight, I have
  attached the output of several commands as debugging information.

  Using the kernel parameter acpi_backlight=vendor, I can no longer
  adjust the brightness slider with my keyboard hotkey Fn+Up/Down Arrow,
  and when I go to System Settings -> Brightness & Lock, the brightness
  slider is no longer present.

  The kernel paramater video.use_bios_initial_backlight=0 appears to
  make no difference, as I can move the brightness slider and it still
  has no effect.

  The kernel paramater video.use_native_backlight=1 also has no
  noticeable effect.

  When booting with the latest mainline kernel (v3.15-rc5-utopic), the
  issue persists.
