Public bug reported: Symptoms appeared after clean-installing Ubuntu 16.10. Worked perfectly using 15.10 & 16.04.
DELL Inspiron 14-3452 (3000 series) laptop Latest BIOS ver: 4.0.11 Upon pressing either the XF86monBrightnessUp or XF86monBrightnessDown keys in a Unity-7 session, the OSD appears, sometimes delayed, and begins to lower or raise the backlight level, repeatedly, to the maximum or minimum level. The system comes under load and is less responsive to any input or attempts to cancel / counteract the action. Manual adjustments via the echoing of numbers-in-range to the /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness work normally and as expected.
