            Bug ID: 194696
           Summary: Asus X551CAP brightness problem (acpi, acpi_video)
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any

Hello,=20

I can't adjust the display brightness on an ASUS X551CAP laptop running
10-RELEASE (amd64).

There's a `hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brigthness' sysctl, which i can modify, but no
change actual brightness can be observed:
# sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brigthness=3D1
hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness: 20 -> 1
# sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brigthness=3D100
hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness: 1 -> 100=20

Nor can the 'hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=3D0' be changed by using=20

# sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=3D1
hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active: 0 -> 0

(acpi_video.ko module was loaded while testing this, I made sure of that)=20
After none of this worked I loaded the acpi_call module. A lot of the comma=
nds
I threw at that had no effect or returned 'Unknown object type '0'=20

(including these ones:)
#acpi_call -p '\_SB-PCI0-GFX0.DD02._BCM' -i 4
#acpi_call -p '\VBRU' '(Brightness Up)'
#acpi_call -p \VBRD'=20
#acpi_call -p '\-SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02._BQC' 0
#acpi_call -p '\-SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02._BQC'=20
#acpi_call -p '\-SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02._BCM'
#acpi_call -p '\-SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02._BCL'
#acpi_call -p '\-SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02._BCL' 10
#acpi_call -p '\-SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02._BCL' 4



i3 window manager on Xorg
CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 1007U @ 1.50GHz (1496.64-M)
My make.conf file has nothing specified but:
PACKAGES=3D/usr/ports/packages

PS: fn+f5 and fn+f6 cannot be used to affect the brightness either and do n=
ot
change the value for =E2=80=9C hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brigthness=E2=80=9D eithe=
r.=20
I came across more people experiencing the same issue as me while on my que=
st
to find a solution on the Internet.
