Public bug reported: The problem is that brightness is at full and I cannot change it. The Fn+F2, Fn+F3 keys do not do anything. I have tried adding boot parameters like nomodeset, acpi_hardware=vendor etc. But nothing has worked for me. I even tried the /sys/class/backlight way but there is a problem. This directory is empty. I am using ubuntu 12.04.2 64bit and I have tried both open source and amd proprietary (13.1) drivers (even the 13.2 beta). I even tried the latest mainline kernels up to 3.8.1 which also did not solve my problem.
