Hm, ok. The driver backs off because the generic acpi backlight driver is there. Question: under /proc/acpi/video, is there an LCD device with supported backlight control. What happens when writing values there directly? (also post "grep -r . /proc/acpi/video" for reference). If control there does not work, what happens when using "acpi_backlight=vendor" on the grub line?
