Public bug reported:
The screen brightness controls don't work on the Legion Slim 7 (AMD)
laptop running in hybrid/dynamic mode.
The backlight control files appear in /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl0,
and writing to /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl0/brightness changes the
value in /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl0/actual_brightness, but the
screen brightness always remains at 100%.
I have tried kernel boot parameters:
acpi_backlight=vendor
amdgpu.backlight=0
but neither makes any difference.
I have read that users with the Legion 7 AMD and Legion 5 Pro AMD can
get the backlight working with the amdgpu.backlight=0 kernel boot
parameter. One difference between them and this laptop is that it has
advanced optimus, meaning that it can switch the laptop display between
the amdgpu and nvidia card without rebooting, if that is at all
relevant.
