In the recent ubuntu 13.04 Beta 2, /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 did not exist anymore on my toshiba satellite Z930 (acpi_backlight=vendor is NOT set). Therefore I had to change the udev script proposed by @cmtsij like this:

diff --git a/etc/udev/rules.d/00-tosh-backlight.rules b/etc/udev/rules.d/00-tosh-backlight.rules
