I have a similar issue on an HP Mini 110. The screen does not dim upon
switching to battery power and vice-versa. The suggestion above
(acpt_backlight=vendor) makes the screen dim when cold booting on
battery power, but still the power manager does not change the
brightness when going from battery
I forgot to add that the brightness keys do work on the Mini, however
there is no on-screen notification other then the brightness changing.

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately there are no options for that on
this model Mini.
