Bug Description
When I press the appropriate keys on keyboard (Fn+up/Fn+down) the slider appears on the upper right corner of the screen but the brightness doesn't change.
Problem is I have not intel_backlight on /sys/class/
Reported upstream at http://
WORKAROUND: /sys/class/

If I increase the backlight via funcion keys or terminal the files are correctly updated:
$ echo 7 | sudo tee /sys/class/
/sys/class/

acpi_listen works just on new mainline kernel 3.13.2 (tried bot generic and lowlatency) on stock kernel there isn't output at all:
video/brightnessup BRTUP 00000086 00000000 K
video/brightnes
Now I'm using xrandr to change the brightness:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --brightness 0.5
but since xrandr is a software overlay my battery life is horrible, I'm stuck on 100% brightness. Beside this, sometimes the brightness slider appears spontaneously without pressing any keys but again with no effect.
