Title:
  [AMD Radeon HD 7500G][1002:990a] Unable to adjust brightness with
  radeon driver

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  CID: 201307-13904 HP Pavilion 14

  Steps:
  1. Install 12.04.3 + update (3.8.0-33), boot to desktop
  2. Adjust the brightness with hotkeys
  3. Adjust the brightness with the brightness applet.

  Expected results:
  - Brightness could be controlled.

  Actual result:
  - The brightness level indicator will change with hotkeys, but brightness won't be changed, it can't be controlled by the brightness applet as well.

  Debugging information:

  Note:
  After the proprietary AMD video driver (fglrx-experimental-13) was installed, the brightness could be controlled normally.
