Hi Petter,
Can you please make this into a real kernel patch with commit message, sob line and all? See Documentation/SubmittingPatches. Diff itself looks good.
Thanks, Daniel

According to modinfo i915, I should report machines/video cards needing the invert_brightness=1 setting here. The laptop in question is described on <URL: http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv >. The screen go black as soon as the i915 kernel module is loaded. The problem exist in both Debian Wheezy and Ubuntu Raring.
I had a closer look at the problem, and came up with a patch for the kernel that should fix this, relative to the Debian source 3.9.5-1:
