Package: fglrx-driver
Version: 1:13.8~beta1-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
I'm using an ASUS laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470. I upgraded
the catalyst driver from 13.4 to 13.8~beta1-2 and now, when the X
session starts, the screen backlight is turned off and I'm unable to
turn it on. Except this, the system seems to work normally because it
responds to keyboard commands and I can barely see on the screen that my
KDE session is correctly loaded.
Downgrading the catalyst to the 13.4 version or using the radeon free
driver the problem does not persist.

Please, pay attention that I'm writing this bug report using the radeon
free driver (otherwise it would be impossible without the backlight), so
the following outputs may differ from the situation reported above.
