I'm using GNOME and can't seem to change my laptop screen brightness. The slider in settings will work by changing the value in intel_backlight between 0 and 4882 but the actual brightness of the screen will not change.
If I use the kernel line acpi_video = vendor all it does is create another interface called dell_backlight alongside intel_backlight which changes from 0 to 15 by changing the slider or pressing fn + f5 and fn + f4.
I have nouveau and intel graphics drivers installed and I'm running arch on a Dell XPS15 (L521x).
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Solved this by adding the kernel parameter video.use_native_backlight=0

Have you tried this kernel parameter:
video.use_native_backlight=1

Few (not all) Dell panel support adjusting backlight through xrandr. I can control backlight on my M4800 through it.
What's the output of following
xrandr --prop | grep Backlight

Yes I have tried this, unfortunately GDM will not start if this is enabled.
