/etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor"
if this does not work then try
/etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=video"
sudo update-grub
Also create the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/80-backlight.conf but content is slightly different from the file that you created:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Option "Backlight" "acpi_video0"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
