Can you try adding acpi_backlight=native to kernel cmdline? With this cmdline option, you should have only one interface under /sys/class/backlight that is intel_backlight and xorg.conf modification isn't necessary. If everything works, I can add your machine to a quirk table for this to happen automatically so that you do not need to add that cmdline option.
There is a new quick mechanism in kernel now.
