Right.  Where do I do that?  I can do it if I know what to do. :)

I discovered that by adding acpi_backlight=vendor and keeping the
i915.invert_brightness=1 setting, the screen went black again.  So
these settings seem to cancel each other out.  But if I remove
i915.invert_brightness=1, the screen no longer turn black, and KDE no
longer turn off the screen when I log in, because instead of using the
acpi_backlight interface it is using the intel_backlight interface,
which is not inverted.

So I wonder, perhaps i915.invert_brightness=1 is the wrong quirk for
this machine?
