Pls note that this machine was moved to ZFS since, and then back to good ole' ext4, and the problem remains exactly the same, so it has nothing to do with BTRFS. Removing BTRFS from bug title.
** Summary changed: - BTRFS [Toshiba L735-101] screen brightness cannot be set using hotkeys + [Toshiba L735-101] screen brightness cannot be set -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971750 Title: [Toshiba L735-101] screen brightness cannot be set Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On my Toshiba L735-101, using btrfs, screen brightness keys do not allow screen brightness to be set. Actual brightness is always maximum (i.e. much too bright...). If I boot "normally" , screen brightness keys have no effect at all. If I boot adding the "acpi_backlight=vendor" option, then the brighness hotkeys cause the corresponding pop-up level bar to display (modulo bug #971734), still there is no change on actual screen brightness.
