The patch for 5315 works, thanks!

As said in comment #28, the BIOS is the same for 5315 and 5720, the only
difference here must be the version (1.43 for my 5315, 1.42 for Rafael's 5720).

The last version of the BIOS is 1.45 but the update seems to be available just
from Vista. A few months ago, updates were available from FreeDOS but the Acer
website changed…

BIOS updates used to solve lots of bugs for ACPI under Linux (suspend, thermal
zones and fan support have been *highly* improved, see kernel bug #9754 for
example). Version 1.45 may solve this backlight problem, who knows (no
changelog available)… Can anybody with Windows Vista try to update the BIOS to
1.45?
