Hello all,

After going a bit grey, I found that /sys/class/backlight/toshiba breaks
after suspend, but /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight continues to
function ('echo $number > backlight' after resume from suspend).  Some
great folks over at Arch have figured this one out.  I have a Toshiba
Portege R705, and this does the trick:

Source:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_Graphics#Backlight_not_fully_adjusting.2C_or_adjusting_at_all_after_resume.

Adapting this for Ubuntu 13.04:

1) sudo vi /etc/default/grub

2) change the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT as follows:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor"

3) sudo update-grub

4) Configure X11 to use the intel_backlight.  Create a file called
20-intel.conf here:

sudo vi /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

5) Paste in the following:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "card0"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option      "Backlight"  "intel_backlight"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"

EndSection

6) Reboot and bask in glorious brightness control.  Suspend/resume and
it continues to function normally from the Fn-F6/F7 keys.
