# ls /sys/class/backlight has three listings
acpi_video0  acpi_video1  intel_backlight

# cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness 
976

# echo 100 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness                    
                                                  
bash: /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness: Permission denied

# sudo -s

root# echo 100 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

This last command worked and my brightness was changed successfully. I
tried other values too, and they all seem to work. I didn't try going
beyond the max_brightness value, of course.

Is there something else I could try that would help in narrowing down
and / or fixing this bug?
