Title:
  Brightness-Troubles with Acer Travelmate 8481TG

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  On an Acer Travelmate 8481TG using the default-config, the screen's
  brightness can't be controlled (with Fn+cursor-key), altought the
  event is recognized (and displayed in a popup in the upper right
  corner of the screen).

  With the kernel-parameter "acpi_backlight=vendor" the brightness-
  control works (with Function-Key), but then another problem arises:
  When the screen is switched of via DPMS (automatically after 10
  minutes, or manually with "xset dpms force off"), it can't be
  reactivated by moving the mouse or pressing any key (as without
  acpi_backlight=vendor), instead the screen has to be reactivated with
  the brightnes-control-keys (which does not work while the screen is
  locked).

  WORKAROUND: acpi_backlight=vendor
