Hi
I have got the same problem after upgrade to Ubuntu 13.04 (kernel 3.8.0-19-generic).
computer : DELL inspiron 15R SE
video: ATI 7730M + INTEL 4000
With old kernel 3.5.0-17 it works normal.
the command
/bin/echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
turns off the backlight completely.
