Adding 'acpi_backlight=vendor' to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT options
in /etc/default/grub (comment #71) also worked for me. 'quiet splash'
and 'pcie_aspm=force' options shouldn't be necessary in this situation
(though 'quiet splash' is added by default). Also, as a general rule,
you should check what commands do before blindly following solutions
followed by others. Google is your friend. ; )
