Just to make clear, intel_backlight isn't working properly either. If my laptop boots with backlight at 50% then intel_backlight will only work in the range 0%-50% on my machine. If I use the samsung module to set it to 100% then intel_backlight works correctly in the range 0-100% until next reboot/suspend. So I'd recommend staying with the samsung module and disabling the acpi_backlight entirely. The samsung module is the only backlight control which works properly.
