** Description changed:

  Hi,
  
  On my Toshiba L735-101, screen brightness keys do not allow screen
  brightness to be set. Actual brightness is always maximum (i.e. much too
  bright...).
  
  If I boot "normally" , screen brightness keys have no effect at all.
  
  If I boot adding the "acpi_backlight=vendor" option, then the brighness
  hotkeys cause the corresponding pop-up  level bar to display (modulo bug
  #971734), still there is no change on actual screen brightness.
  
  Video board is :
  
  [    74.130] (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce 315M (GT218) at
  PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)
  
  Boot dmesg shows some funny stuff :
  
  [    3.346332] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI(VGA) defines _DOD but not _DOS
  
  Putting in /etc/X11/xorg.conf :
  Option        "RegistryDwords"        "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
  ...doesn't help
