It is stuck an the lowest level and can't by changed with the hotkeys. There is /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/ which has no effect. The bug occurs when using kernel 3.13 on 12.04 and on 14.04. WORKAROUND: Set the brightness through /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/ The hotkeys are working again after setting the brightness once on the command line.
