kernel mode pokes the ACPI backlight sysfs I/F, which doesn't work on your
laptop.
legacy mode changes the backlight via poking a PCI register of the VGA
controller.

I don't think there is anything we can do in Linux kernel because ACPI video
driver runs the AML code exactly as we expected, and exactly the same as it
does on other Acer laptops, except that the backlight fails to change on this
laptop.

I think you need to use xrandr as a workaround for now, and wish there is a new
BIOS released by Acer soon which fixes this issue. :)
