how to override a DSDT can be found at:
http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/overridingDSDT.php

I close this bug is because:
If this laptop follows the ACPI extension, which means that users can change
the backlight via ACPI, its BIOS is borken (_DOS not available). This is a BIOS
bug that Linux/ACPI won't fix.
If this laptop doesn't follow the ACPI extension, i.e. the backlight still can
not be controlled via ACPI after overriding the DSDT, I suggest you to try some
ATI specific tools, and go to www.freedesktop.org for help, because there are
many ATI experts there, :).
