Ubuntu 9.10 with latest updates, booted with KMS, provides
/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0 interface, but changing
/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness has no effect (pressing
brightness keys in Gnome says that it changes brightness, but there is no
visual effect).
Booting with i915.modeset=0 and then xrandr --output LVDS --set
BACKLIGHT_CONTROL legacy
allows to change display brightness, but I get blinking screen on console
(Alt-Ctrl-F1)
The trick with
lspci | grep VGA

Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=80
works.
