@Po-Hsu, 
Please skip comment #7.

Since latest kernel fixes this issue, it should be win8 backlight issue.
Backlight control is moved to gfx after win8.
video.use_native_backlight=1 is set as default after 3.16-r2.

Utopic release should fix this issue.

Title:
  [Dell Inspiron 5547] Unable to contorl brightness with fglrx driver on
  AMD Radeon R7 M260 [1002:6900]

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” source package in Trusty:
  New

Bug description:
  CID: 201401-14542 Dell Inspiron 5547

  This issue is similar to bug 1332379, but with I+A config,
  Brightness cannot be controlled without the open-source driver as well.

  Steps:
  1. Install 14.04 + update (3.13.0-29) + fglrx
  2. Try to adjust the screen brightness with hotkeys and "Brightness and Lock" applet

  Expected result:
  * Screen brightness could be adjusted in both ways.

  Actual result:
  * Unable to control screen brightness, the brightness indicator would change according to key press on the hotkeys
