State-Changed-Why:

Can you try a kernel from HEAD? We have added few drivers that may help,
namely, acpivga(4) and wmihp(4).  (The latter may handle the hotkeys, but it
is not enabled in GENERICs.) With the former -- if it attachs and works --  
you should be able to control the brightness with the

        hw.acpi.acpiout0.brightness

sysctl(8) variable.
