Eli Fox-Epstein, if you remove all non-default kernel boot parameters
(ex. nomodeset video.use_native_backlight=1) does this change anything?

Title:
  [Lenovo ThinkPad T530] Backlight not adjustable

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Running 14.04, just upgraded. I can no longer adjust my backlight on
  my ThinkPad T530. I am attaching a number of files as requested in
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight. See also:
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/473660/brightness-keys-no-longer-work

  Note that /sys/class/backlight is empty unless acpi_backlight=vendor
  is set.
