Run:

gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

find this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet"

Change it to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor"

Save the new file. close gedit then run:
sudo update-grub

Reboot to test. I assume you at least TRIED to find guides on how to add boot options and didn't simply ask for clarification.....

Thank you Andrew. This procedure seems to have fixed a simular problem I was having with a new install of 12.10 on a Samsung laptop.

Can you help with this problem?
