Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a

I'm not the original poster, but I'm having the same issue. This is the output:

I searched and didn't see it.

This isn't exactly a fix, but it works for me...

Install xbacklight:
sudo apt-get install xbacklight

Then adjust it with the following, 1-100:
xbacklight -set 70
