Solution: Open a terminal and create the following configuration file, if it does not exist:
sudo touch /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Now we need to edit this file. You can use any editor be it a terminal one or graphical.
sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Add the following lines to this file:
Section "Device"
Identifier "card0"
Driver "intel"
Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
..relogin and test
No Changes on GRUB (no setting of acpi_backlight=vendor) !!!
