Ugh, it's one of those hybrid systems. Try looking into PRIME. It's
the current method of dealing with these systems using open-source drivers.
When I boot, I also use:
nomodeset vga=normal
Do you really need this? It is probably part of your problem.
/sys/class/backlight
is empty
None of the fn key works
That would explain why you have no backlight control. Try booting
without the "nomodeset" and see if that makes any difference. If not,
then see if you can find an existing bug report for your laptop. You
didn't mention which one you have.
I also try to run:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-352.63.run
If you really want to use the proprietary NVidia driver, get it from
rpmfusion. At least then, it's easier to revert if necessary and it's
much more likely to work.
