Thank you Peter for your suggestion of "acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor". I added those to /etc/default/grub and ran update-grub2 and indeed the laptop now does not boot into a dark screen. It has been booting into a dark screen since 12.04, but I only found this tip after I have updated to 13.04. Still, it helps!
