Public bug reported:
This machine supports the standard ACPI backlight interface, but using
it has no effect on the screen brightness. The only known way to adjust
screen brightness on this machine is via the gmux device, but this is
not currently supported under Linux. The details of the gmux backlight
interface are known, so it's a matter of getting driver support into the
kernel.
