Public bug reported:

I am unable to adjust the screen brightness on my Acer Aspire V5-122P.
Adjusting brightness in the settings applet has no affect. Adjusting
brightness with the keyboard function keys tuns the screen on and off
seemingly randomly.

I believe this (rightly or wrongly) to be a problem with the hardware
drivers for the laptop's touch screen (rather than with xorg or the open
source AMD graphics drivers). I have therefore filed a bug report under
"linux".

Unfortunately I do not know how to determine the exact details of the
touch screen. I have included the output of lspci below, but cannot see
the screen listed. I am happy to gather further information with
guidance.

Many thanks
