Public bug reported:

My notebook brightness is always very dim... 
After trying very workarounds, I blacklisted video in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist 
adding:

blacklist video

after reboot all was ok (brightness now is good, max). So i understood this 
problem depends from "video" module.
it's ACPI module? blacklisting this module brightness is now max, but Fn keys 
to change brightness don't function.
So i discovered that this "video" module, during every boot, create a folder:

/proc/acpi/video

and in this folder there is this file:

/proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness
editing it:

levels:  0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
current: 0

Now to change current: 0 (min brightness) to current: 13 (max brightness) and 
to make this change permanent, i used this workaround:
"
sudo nano brightness

i copy this 2 lines in terminal folder:

#!/bin/sh
echo 13 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness

C)  Ctrl-O to save e Ctrl-X to exit
Now we will copy our new shell script to the appropriate directory, make it 
executable and add the following links by typing the following in Terminal:
sudo mv brightness /etc/init.d
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/brightness
sudo update-rc.d brightness defaults 13

so it's ok, but u should solve this problem in video module for future.
