            Bug ID: 207086
           Summary: LCD Brightness
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.2-STABLE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: aeuii@posteo.de

I'm unable to change LCD brightness on Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E145 using =E2=
=98=BC+ and
=E2=98=BC- buttons. To be more specific, the brightness can be changed only=
 until an
early system boot.  It works in the loader menu, and right after kernel is
loaded, but stops working soon after that (perhaps when acpi0 is loaded:
=E2=80=9Cacpi0: <LENOVO TP-HS> on motherboard=E2=80=9D).

I tested multiple FreeBSD version:

Affected FreeBSD versions:
  - 11.0: FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-amd64-20160206-r295345-memstick.img
  - 10.3: FreeBSD-10.3-PRERELEASE-amd64-20160127-r294913-memstick.img
  - 10.2: 10.2-RELEASE-p12
  - 10.1: FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img

Working version:
  - 9.3: FreeBSD-9.3-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img (with =E2=80=9CCPU0: local
    ACPI error 0x80=E2=80=9D)

As you can see, the problem occurred between 9.3 and 10.1.


I also tried different methods to change the brightness on 10.2:

acpi_call
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

acpi_call -v -p '\VBRU'

Path: \VBRU
Number of arguments: 0
ioctl: Device not configured

# no effect


acpi_ibm
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

sysctl dev.acpi_ibm.0.lcd_brightness=3D7

# value changes, but it no effect on the brightness


acpi_video
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness=3D50
hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness: 50 -> #

# no effect

pressing Fn+=E2=98=BC+- buttons has no effect, but logs:

can't evaluate \134_SB_.PCI0.VGA_.LCD_._BQC - AE_NOT_FOUND
