With v3.13.11.5 the screen backlight is tourned on :)

However I have noticed that the backlight switch (which should let the
adjustment of the backlight volume) seems not change anything.

Title:
  After the last `apt-get update` the screen backlight is turned off.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Cause: After the last `apt-get update` and system `reboot` the screen backlight is turned off.
  Expected: The screen is expected to have the backlight turned on or at least to be able to set it on.

  Comment:
  The last update has updated the linux kernel and kernel headers package. After booting up with the new kerlnel the screen backlight has turned off after a second (right after the system boot). I have not found any way to torn it on, no mether if I increase or decrease the backlight setting and no mether if the system is working on batery or with the power cord attached.
  I am running Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 LTS at Dell Vostro-5470.
