------- Comment #25 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2008-12-09 23:37 -------
I can reproduce this problem on a Sony VGN Z540.

here is the AML code path when invoking _BCM method,

                Store ("Arg0", Debug)
                Store (Arg0, Debug)
                Store ("Arg1", Debug)
                Store (Arg1, Debug)

                Store (Arg1, BCLP)
                Or (BCLP, 0x80000000, BCLP)
                Store (0x02, ASLC)


IMO, this is a IGD OpRegion problem.
when I run echo {0,4,8} > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness,
I got this in dmesg

[  875.931991] [ACPI Debug]  String [0x04] "Arg0"
[  875.933758] [ACPI Debug]  Integer 0x00000001
[  875.933826] [ACPI Debug]  String [0x04] "Arg1"
[  875.933891] [ACPI Debug]  Integer 0x00000008

[  880.088142] [ACPI Debug]  String [0x04] "Arg0"
[  880.089780] [ACPI Debug]  Integer 0x00000001
[  880.089845] [ACPI Debug]  String [0x04] "Arg1"
[  880.089908] [ACPI Debug]  Integer 0x0000002A

[  884.249103] [ACPI Debug]  String [0x04] "Arg0"
[  884.249170] [ACPI Debug]  Integer 0x00000001
[  884.249230] [ACPI Debug]  String [0x04] "Arg1"
[  884.249289] [ACPI Debug]  Integer 0x000000FF

it seems that the AML code has sent a notification to the graphics driver, but
the graphics driver doesn't change the backlight correctly. right?
