Test results as requested by the Kernel testing wiki.

On my Toshiba Satellite R830, I have 13.04 AMD64. The Fn + F6, Fn + F7 buttons
reduce/increase the brightness level of the screen. The issue is that they stop
working after waking my computer from sleep. When this happens I cannot even
control brightness by going to "System Settings/Brightness and Lock". I had
Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 installed before and I had the same identical problem. 

On 12.04 and 12.10 the fommowing solved the problem:

WORKAROUND: I modified /etc/default/grub changing the line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor"

Then updated grub with:
sudo update-grub

and the problem was solved.

These values are not between 0 and 7 (as the ones in the other directory), but
between 284 and 4539, or something like that. Source is
http://askubuntu.com/a/196863/27968.

WORKAROUND: In Raring:
echo 400 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
