Taylor Raack, unfortunately, "Me too!" comments are simply unhelpful here on Launchpad. If you would like to be helpful, and so your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into the default Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline one) via: ubuntu-bug linux
For more on this, please read the official Ubuntu documentation: Ubuntu Bug Control and Ubuntu Bug Squad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue Ubuntu Kernel Team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Filing_Kernel_Bug_reports https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Policies/DuplicateBugs Ubuntu Community: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette When opening up the new report, please feel free to subscribe me to it. As well, please do not announce in this report you created a new bug report. Thank you for your understanding.

Adding debugging information from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight I found that echo 8 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness worked to lower my screen brightness, without playing with kernel parameters. Booting with the kernel parameter: acpi_backlight=vendor did not enable the UI widget or hotkeys, although echo 8 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness continued to work. Booting with the kernel parameter: video.use_bios_initial_backlight=0 did not allow for hotkey or widget changes of brightness. Booting with the kernel parameter: video.use_native_backlight=1 also did not resolve the issue. Creating /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/80-backlight.conf with the contents: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "sna" Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" # use your backlight that works here BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection and rebooting does resolve the issue.
