test1:
kill acpid and run "cat /proc/acpi/event",
what do you get when pressing the hotkey?
test2:
"echo 0 > /sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled"
can you change the backlight via hotkey any more?
Note that the BIOS is tricky.
Method (LBCM, 1, NotSerialized)
{
If (\_OSI ("Windows 2006"))
{
...
}
}
the method for backlight control only works on windows Vista.
i.e. any previous windows releases don't use this method for backlight control.
what if you boot with acpi_osi="!Windows 2006"?
PS, in this case, both the proc and sys backlight I/F may not work for you.
