I've looked at them only at very beginning and if I recall correctly
they had no visible effects. The values in the linux driver were taken
from sniffing the windows driver. I remember that I've verified the
default brightness value since 0x86 looked odd. I'm not sure that I
verified all controls. I might have assumed all controls shared the
same value range.

There were previous reports of the picture controls not working at all.
