Update to my previous comment - I've extensively tested different
configurations (mostly kernel parameters) on my Legion 5 15ach6. I did
manage to get the brightness to change when using just the dedicated GPU
(selected as such within the BIOS,) using the parameter

nvidia.NVreg_RegistryDwords=EnableBrightnessControl=1

and this causes the nvidia gpu to show up in /sys/class/backlight/ alongside 
the amd one, but both of the /sys/class/backlight/*/brightness files do nothing.
In hybrid mode and in integrated only mode (using optimus-manager to do it)

acpi_backlight=video/vendor/native/none

all do nothing, i tested each individually with

amdgpu.backlight=1 and amdgpu.backlight=0,

and did not get any hint of a way to control backlight, only the AMD
iGPU showed up in /sys/class/backlight/, and changing the brightness
value did nothing.


Something else of note was that I noticed that when using just the
dedicated NVIDIA card, xrandr showed DP-1 as the active montior, while
when I was using the AMD iGPU, it was showing as eDP. Does anyone know
if the MUX switch needs something from the kernel or nvidia driver to
work properly? Is there any way for us to be able to check the position
of the switch?
