Merlijn Sebrechts, no need to further e-mail any mailing list at this
time. Anyone who is interested will look at the downstream report.

Despite this, the next step is to fully reverse commit bisect from
kernel 3.14 to 3.18-rc7 in order to identify the last bad commit,
followed immediately by the first good one. Once this commit has been
identified, then it may be reviewed as a candidate for backporting into
your release. Could you please do this following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#How_do_I_reverse_bisect_the_upstream_kernel.3F
?  Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit
bisecting.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  8086:0046 [Acer Aspire 5742] Screen brightness not working

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My laptop does not respond to the screen brightness control after default Ubuntu install. The following workaround worked: http://askubuntu.com/a/450594
  It adds a config file to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

  adding acpi_backlight=vendor to boot params did nothing
  adding acpi_osi=Linux to boot params only fixed the keyboard shortcuts, but the screen indicator and the brightness settings dialog stopped working.

  Please let me know if this is not the right package, or if you need
  more info.
