           Summary: Can't change my laptop's brightness with ATI card and
                    radeon
           Product: ACPI
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.38.2 - 2.6.39.3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Power-Other
        AssignedTo: acpi_power-ot...@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: bugzi...@ealexp.eu
        Regression: No


Since the 2.6.38.2 kernel, I can't change my laptop's brightness. It worked in
2.6.37.6 version. I'm using ArchLinux.

I try to change it by using three ways : 
 - Fn + brightness up/down keys : nothing happens
 - echo <number> > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness : it doesn't
work (but the file exists)
 - xbacklight command : it prints "No outputs have backlight property"

I have updated my kernel and I have tried to change the acpi_osi and
acpi_backlight boot options, but it didn't work. I have posted a message on
ArchLinux BBS (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=960197), but nobody
could help me. I have filled a bug report on archlinux Bugs
(https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25117), but someone told me to fill a bug
report here.
