I tried out applied your patch . Boot message shows ,
[11.220410] acer_wmi: Brightness must be controlled by generic video
driver
Now 'acpi_video0' and 'intel_backlight' are present
inside /sys/class/backlight .Hot key works like earlier ( ie problem
after maximum level still exists).
I tried following commands ,
echo 5 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
echo 5 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
But it doesn't make any change .
In my case , 'acpi_backlight = vendor' does not make any difference since the hot key control
already starts working with 'acpi_osi=Linux' option.
cat /proc/cmdline gives ,
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.3.0+
root=UUID=f0197a59-c067-4fd8-ad90-c4d721816077 ro acpi_osi=Linux
Thanks ,
