Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Hello, I am using a Gateway NV5927U laptop and the screen brightness is
unchangeable via the keyboard controls.  The brightness is stuck at 100%
and changing values inside of /proc/acpi/video/GFX0 have no effect on
the brightness.  Please let me know what else you may need.  The
brightness can be controlled inside of windows and visually stays dim
until GDM starts, at this point the screen raises to full brightness and
is locked at that state.
