Hello all,

This is my very first OpenBSD install on "bare metal", on an HP
EliteBook 8470w, OpenBSD 5.6 to be exact. Everything is going quite nicely except for the machine's backlight which I can't seem to adjust.

Here are the specifics:

1) The brightness keys (Fn-F9 and Fn-F8) do not work.

2) Using xbacklight (example: $ xbacklight -dec 10) returns the message
"No outputs have backlight property".

3) 'wsconsctl display.brightness=xx' does not work.

4) A suspend/resume cycle, which I've read temporarily fixes this issue
with many machines, does not work.

5) I have seen some folks suggest something like 'xrandr --output LVDS --brightness xx', which seems to only alter the colors of my screen to appear brighter, but not actually adjust the brightness.

I've done quite a bit of searching around but can't seem to come up
with anything. I'm very new to *BSD and am a hardware newbie so please
forgive me for missing something obvious.
Attached below is my dmesg output.
Any bits of guidance would be greatly appreciated.

-Brendan
