I had the same problem with my Aspire V5-171 (Ubuntu 13.04). I tried
adding "acpi_backlight=vendor" as it solved this problem in Ubuntu
12.10, but for no avail.
Then I tried this other fix: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash
pcie_aspm=force acpi_backlight=vendor" and after updating grub and
rebooting the brightness control and Fn keys work like a charm, even
better than in 12.04, considering now I can decrease the brightness to a
lower level.
