With kernel 3.10:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.10-saucy/

I got this message in the kernel log:

acer_wmi: Brightness must be controlled by acpi video driver

So I edited GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/defaults/grub to look
like this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor"

and now it's now working.
