@Adrian and Marco-

I have prepared a test kernel which should restore the backlight behavior on the XPS13-FHD. Please install this kernel and report your results.

To install: Download the two "linux*.deb" files at http://people.canonical.com/~kamal/lp1169376/ then, in a terminal window, change to the directory where you saved them, and install them together by issuing the command 'sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb'. Reboot, then verify that your backlight behavior is restored (and that the command 'uname -a' includes the string "#28+lp1169376" to ensure that you're running the test kernel).
