    The arch wiki has an alternative fix. They just suggest this in your xorg.conf.

    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Card0"
    Driver "intel"
    Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight"
    EndSection

    It fixed it for me.

    For more go here and search for xbacklight. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Backlight
