dmesg

System: Samsung P460 notebook, BIOS-version 07LQ (current version)
Core 2 Duo P7350 2x 2.00GHz, Intel GMA X4500HD IGP

$ cat /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD04/brightness 
levels:  25 35 45 60 70 80 90 100
current: 100

$ echo -n 25 > /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD04/brightness 
has no effect on the brightness

It seems to me that this is caused by the system BIOS:

$ dmesg | grep brightness
[    0.208482] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI: ACPI brightness control misses _BQC
function

I also tried booting with acpi_osi=Linux but with no changes.
