            Bug ID: 293970
           Summary: No backlight/brightness control on Thinkpad T490
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: skl246@tutamail.com

Brightness control does not work on a ThinkPad T490 under FreeBSD/GhostBSD.
There is no usable ACPI backlight interface exposed (no
hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness), and the i915kms driver does not provide a
working backlight control either. As a result, brightness cannot be adjusted at
all. This issue is also present on FreeBSD 14.3. The same hardware works
correctly on OpenBSD.
