Urghs, I didn't meant acer laptops in general but the brightness control, as
there seem to be different issues when I tried googling for it. Also this
wasn't meant to judge any overall quality or badmouthing acer systems, i am
sorry for my poor choice of words.
And radeonhd, well I can only agree with you, this was shipped half baked,
opensuse 11.3 uses the regular radeon driver again though.
Does xrandr --prop not even detect the backlight after forcefully loading the
acer-wmi kernel module? Is there any negative output in dmesg after loading the
module? Do you happen to have an old livecd around where it worked and try
there as well?
There is a kde bugreport about failing backlight support, but there is also
multiple things flying through, like hal having a better backlight support or
solid should use more ways to set the backlight besides randr
