 The brightness change part of acpi-video is based on ACPI specification
 4.0 paragpraph B.7
 
 Maybe the notebook doesn't support it.
 
 The acpidump -dt may help.
 
 Also, it's necesarry to compile kernel with ACPI_DEBUG, then setup debug
 messages in loadr.conf, then check the BIOS will generate the required
 notifications.
