Title:
  [Toshiba L850D-11Z] Backlight keys don't work with fglrx-installer

Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Backlight keys work (I get the slider on screen) , but there is no
  change on brightness.

  Other tests :
     - kernel 3.6.5 (ppa) gives same result than kernel 3.5.0-17 (default 12.10 configuration)
     - when Backlight is set to a new value(on the slider), a sleep and a wake up set the correct value on screen brightness

     - L850D-11Z is a dual GPU (AMD A8), so I take a look at acpi tree :
              - there is 2 directory acpi_vga0 and acpi_vga1 for the 2 radeon GPU
              - /sys/class/backlight/acpi_vgaX/actual_brightness had the right value (in the 2 directory)
              - changing /sys/class/backlight/acpi_vgaX/brightness change actual_brightness but had no effect on screen  too

  From the log :
  On dmesg, i have this 2 errors, but they don't seem to be related to backlight variable _BCL :
  [   30.212195] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.VGA_.AF03] (Node ffff8801a665c000), AE_AML_INFINITE_LOOP (20120711/psparse-536)
  [   30.212214] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.VGA_.ATIF] (Node ffff8801a665ad98), AE_AML_INFINITE_LOOP (20120711/psparse-536)

  I do the standard reports on acpi, and get the following result :

  In result.log :
  PASSED: Test 88, Method _BCL returned a sane package of 10 integers.
  PASSED: Test 88, \_SB_.PCI0.PB3_.VGA_.LCD_._BCL correctly acquired and released locks 5 times.

  Test 89 of 94: Check _BCM (Set Brightness Level).
  ACPICA Exception AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT during execution of method BLMP
  FAILED [CRITICAL] AEAMLPackgeLimit: Test 89, Detected error 'Package limit' when evaluating
  '\_SB_.PCI0.VGA_.LCD_._BCM'.
  PASSED: Test 89, \_SB_.PCI0.VGA_.LCD_._BCM correctly acquired and released locks 7 times.
  ACPICA Exception AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT during execution of method BLMP
  FAILED [CRITICAL] AEAMLPackgeLimit: Test 89, Detected error 'Package limit' when evaluating
  '\_SB_.PCI0.PB2_.VGA_.LCD_._BCM'.
  PASSED: Test 89, \_SB_.PCI0.PB2_.VGA_.LCD_._BCM correctly acquired and released locks 7 times.
  ACPICA Exception AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT during execution of method BLMP
  FAILED [CRITICAL] AEAMLPackgeLimit: Test 89, Detected error 'Package limit' when evaluating
  '\_SB_.PCI0.PB3_.VGA_.LCD_._BCM'.
  PASSED: Test 89, \_SB_.PCI0.PB3_.VGA_.LCD_._BCM correctly acquired and released locks 7 times.

  So i join DSDT.dsl to this report. I would add result.log if it is
  needed.

  WORKAROUND: Use the open source radeon driver.
