This didn't help. What did help, though, was adding
acpi_backlight=vendor as a boot parametr. Unfortunately, it doesn't
solve the problem completely. GNOME still doesn't remember the backlight
level from the last session and sets it to 0. So I boot into a black
screen, have to adjust it manually, log in, and adjust it manually once
again because it's set to 0 again.
