[Bug 1371785] [NEW] Cannot adjust screen brightness

 

Public bug reported:

The screen brightness of the notebook cannot be adjusted and is stuck in
a super low brightness.. I can barely see.

This problem started last week and because I work with an external hdmi monitor most of the time it took me a while to notice it. 
I am pretty positive it start after I installed the new hardware support a couple weeks ago.

The image on the external monitor is perfect.

hardware: dell xps 13
ubuntu 12.04 (up-to-date) and WITH the “New Hardware Support” installed.

What information should I provide to get help???

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
