Nothing changes with any of the boot parameters you asked me to try, separately.
I tried thoses parameters only with the current stable ubuntu kernel (3.11.0-15-generic). I also tried, separately, to set i915.modeset=1 with no more luck. The current boot parameters are these one : quiet i915.lvds_channel_mode=2 i915.modeset=0 i915.lvds_use_ssc=0 splash acpi_osi= BTW, I use nvidia binary Xorg driver (nvidia-319-updates). My only workaround to date is to boot with the old kernel (3.8.0-22.23), put the laptop in sleep mode once, wake it up and then I got backlight control working. -- 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/1190341 Title: [MacBookPro10,1] Backlight stopped working after update of linux-image with nvidia 313.30 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I am using Ubuntu 13.04, nvidia 313.30, fresh installation from scratch, on a MacBookPro10,1 (the one with Retina display). Two of my partition are encrypted (swap and /srv on which /home is bind mounted).Since some upgrade to linux-image-3.8.0-24 backlight control does not work anymore. I am stuck with 3.8.0-23 in order to get something kind of working (I have to go in sleep mode at least once in order to get backlight control available). The last "almost working" kernel is 3.8.0-23. I even tried 3.9.0-030900 "upstream" kernel with no success. Everything was working fine with the first installation of 13.04.
