Brightess Fix

When brightness controls stop responding manually trigger a brightness update. Once this is done brightness controls seem to respond again. Not sure if the lspci command is required, when my linux foo is stronger I'm sure I'll know...

lspci -nn | grep VGA
echo 3500 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
