Title:
  Backlight Bug

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Backlight control does not work, but there are entries in
  /sys/class/backlight.

  ls /sys/class/backlight > backlight
  grep -r . /proc/acpi > acpi
  sudo acpidump -o acpidump.txt
  acpixtract acpidump.txt
  iasl -d DSDT.dat
  sudo fwts > fwts
  sudo fwts method > fwts_method
  dmesg | grep 'ACPI: Video' > video
  sudo dmidecode > dmidecode.log
  cat /proc/version > version

  Testing for a work around
  Reboot with only the kernel parameter acpi_backlight=vendor
  does not work
  ls /sys/class/backlight > vendorbacklight

  No such folder /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/

  Reboot with just kernel parameter video.use_bios_initial_backlight=0
  does not work

  reboot with just kernel parameter video.use_native_backlight=1
  does not work

  WORKAROUND: Install fglrx.
