Tried the 3.17 upstream kernel. It did not fix the issue.

:~$ uname -psrv
Linux 3.17.1-031701-generic #201410150735 SMP Wed Oct 15 11:36:31 UTC 2014 x86_64

Title:
  Toshiba R700 backlight control not always working

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When returning from sleep mode, I lose backlight control via Fn-F7.

  Restarting the system restores control.

  I am running Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit.
  ~$ uname -psrv
  Linux 3.13.0-37-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 22 21:28:38 UTC 2014 x86_64

  I could also adjust the brightness from the terminal:

  ~$ cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
  1030

  ~$ grep . /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/*
  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness:1030
  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/bl_power:0
  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness:1030
  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness:4539

  So, to temporarily increase the screen brightness:

  ~$ echo 3030 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
  3030

  But that does not give back control via Fn-F7, it just gives an
  independent way of adjusting the backlight.
