Title:
  [Dell Vostro 5470] Unable to control brightness with the Intel GPU /
  nVidia GPU + proprietary driver

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  CID: 201307-14038 Dell Vostro 5470

  The brightness cannot be adjusted when running on Intel GPU
  This bug is similar to bug 1332437, but this one is a I+N system

  Steps:
  1. Install 14.04 + update (3.13.0-29), boot to desktop
  2. Try to adjust the screen brightness with hotkeys and "Brightness and Lock" applet

  Expected result:
  * Screen brightness could be adjusted in both ways.

  Actual result:
  * Unable to control screen brightness, the brightness indicator would change according to key press on the hotkeys
