Title:
  [Fujitsu AMILO Xi 2550] Backlight turned off since upgrade to
  3.13.0-35

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since the upgrade to kernel 3.13.0-35 (from 3.13.0-34), the screen is very dark to the point it's unusable.
  Backlight seems completely turned off. Using the brightness keys doesn't help.
  It was working fine with 3.13.0-34.
  I found that the offending patch is "drm/radeon: set default bl level to something reasonable".
  I reverted this patch and recompiled 3.13.0-35, and it solved the problem.
