After some discussion with Kamal Mostafa (kamalmostafa), we've agreed that this is actually a dupe of bug 1163720. It is a kernel bug with some intel based laptops (not only Dell) in UEFI mode. Some patches are currenlty being tested... ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1163720 Brightness control broken on XPS13 and 3.8.0-16, 3.8.0-22 and 3.11.0-12 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1243539 Title: Black screen on Dell XPS 13 (L322X) with Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 x64 live media in UEFI mode Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've booted from a live USB media of Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 on my Dell XPS 13 (L322X) and the laptop screen is just black. Nothin happens if I press the fn key to adjust brightness. I've connected an external monitor and the desktop is there, up and running (I'm using that session to report this bug right now). On the same laptop, by upgrading from Raring (and staying with kernel 3.8) the laptop screen and brigthness adjustment works fine.
