At night, I usually turn my brightness down as far as it will go using
the brightness keys. This makes it dim, but visible and not off. When I
walk away for a while, the screen goes to sleep, and when I come back
and move the mouse, the screen jumps to full brightness, which is very
unpleasant at night. Investigating, it seems that the brightness in
intel_backlight is getting reset to 4437, but the one in acpi_video0
reads 0.

/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/

> done
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness : 4437
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness : 0
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness : 4437
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness : 15
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness : 4437
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness : 0
After I press the button to increase the brightness one notch, they are
back in sync, and then I can turn it back down as well.

This is on a fresh install of xubuntu 18.04. Seems like a regression
from 16.04, which I ran on the same laptop without this issue.
