           Summary: Brightness control not working on ASUS TUF FA506IU
                    (AMD Ryzen 7 4800H / Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti)
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 5.6.12-1
          Hardware: x86-64

            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1
         Component: Video(DRI - non Intel)

        Regression: No

Hello,

I've just bought an ASUS TUF FA506IU with and AMD Ryzen 7 4800H / Nvidia GTX
1660 Ti setup. Even if this is quite new hardware, I'd say that the only thing
that is not working at all is the brightness control. It's not working with the
function keys, nor from the energy settings, nor with xbacklight.

Actually, it's working a little; I can find a subtle difference between the max
value and the last 5 values, but that's it. Setting it to the minimum still
makes it way too bright.

I've noticed that this could be a range mismatch between "brightness" and
"max_brightness", and "actual_brightness". First are in 8 bit ranges, whereas
the actual brightness is in 16 bit range. I've tried some luck patching the
kernel to return an 8-bit value
(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dce/dce_abm.c#L299),
but doing just that doesn't work (even if the "actual_brightness" was showing
an 8 bit value). In my case, the full path is
"/sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl1/".

I've also tried different acpi_backlight parameters with no luck.

I leave the output of lsmod | grep asus:
