I tried all the workarounds listed an here are my results:
Booting with defaults:
- Brightness hotkeys does not work.
- Brightness slider in Power Management works.
-------
Booting with: acpi_backlight=vendor
- Brightness hotkeys does not work.
- Brightness slider in Power Management does not work.
-- Further testing with the above boot command.
cgp-linux cgp # ls /sys/class/backlight/
asus-nb-wmi intel_backlight
-- echo 8 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
-- This command turns the screen black (off) completely. I tried higher value
(1000) and it properly decreases the brightness.
