You have been subscribed to a public bug: The screen brightness is stuck at 50% of the max output and the brightness controls/slider do nothing at all.
This issue started happening with the nvidia-driver-470 package even before I upgraded from 21.04, and it doesn't happen with 460. The bug manifests in both X11 and Wayland. (and GDM itself before logging in) Setting nvidia-drm.modeset to 1 doesn't seem to affect it either.
