Title:
  Backlight control not working Dell Insprion Mini 10

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since my upgrade from Lubuntu 14.04 to 14.10, my backlight controls
  (hotkeys to increase/decrease brightness) no longer work on my Dell
  Inspiron Mini 10. With 14.04 and earlier versions there was no
  problem.

  There are entries under /sys/class/backlight. I have also tried
  booting with acpi_backlight=vendor. After rebooting with that option,
  there was a dell entry under /sys/class/backlight, but this didn't fix
  the problem.

  Trying to pass brightness values to the files under
  /sys/class/backlight didn't change brightness either (I believe I
  tried all of them).

  I'll try to add the attachments recommended by
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight in a moment.
