Hello, checking with acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" in the cmdline for
kernel 3.11.0-rc3 (and without the section you gave for the xorg.conf)
i get:

- brightness can be set among 16 levels.
- brightness recovers fine after a standby.
- brightness can be managed before entering xorg (during lightdm
screen, in my case. With the configuration of xorg.conf and
video.brightness_switch_enabled=0 it is not possible, only until xorg
has started).
