[Bugreport] Screen backllight issues on FirePro M5950 (HP EliteBook 8560w)

[Artur Flinta]

Hi!

I have HP Elitebook 8560w with FirePro M5950, Fedora 16, kernel 3.1.1,
xorg ati driver 6.14.3 and issues with screen backlight - can't dim
it.I can write to /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness values
from 0 to 20 (as stated in max_brightness), but it have no effect on
the screen, values in brightness as well as in actual_brightness
reflects written number.
Before system boot, I can change brightness of the screen, and it
persist in operating system. Value of the
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness indicates maximum
brightness (20) even if minimal was set before boot. It seems that
built in kernel radeon driver does not correctly handle backlight on
this hardware.

Regards
Artur
