We don't have an external graphics card on this laptop, how could the ACPI
control methods work? This is a BIOS problem to me.

The Intel IGD Opregion Support is on the way.
But it mainly changes the behavior of events handling, like display switch
hotkey events, lid close/open and dock/undock. A SCI is fired upon these
events, notify the ACPI video device and ACPI video driver notify the Intel
video driver to do the actual work by poking the proper OpRegion fields.
IMO, _BCM/_BCL/_BQC methods should work anyway.
I'll look at the AML code later.
