Public bug reported:

Backlight control does not work, but there are entries in /sys/class/backlight.
This is a new laptop, I have not tried any previous kernel versions.
Hotkeys do not change the brightness but do cause the OSD to pop up indicating what the brightness should be.
Brightness applet does not work.
