Hello,
Today I upgrade my ubuntu to version 13.04 from 12.10, however , the brightness can't be adapted. I have tried the previous kernel which worked on version 12.10, brightness can't be changed too. My PC is Acer 4750G.

My boot parameter:

Code:

    RAMDISK$ cat /proc/cmdline
    BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-29-generic root=UUID=0f905c49-affc-49b5-809b-4f7eea7dddbf ro quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor vt.handoff=7

My graphic card details:

My brightness interfaces and their values:

Code:

RAMDISK$ for i in /sys/class/backlight/*; do echo $i; cat $i/brightness; cat $i/max_brightness; done
    /sys/class/backlight/acer-wmi

add blacklist acer-wmi to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and reboot
