In the source file "sbin/wsconsctl/display.c" there are options for
the backlight and the brightness that could be used with wsconsctl. So
it might be applicable in theory.

If that would be possible, I could change the brightness of my laptop
screen as well.


Those don't work yet on amd64+DRM, unfortunately...


Well, it needn't be that bleak:

1. If you've got your Radeon DRM driver working, then you can hack the
driver and call its BL-control functions like this (for Intel GPUs):

2. Poke the PCI HW directly like sysutils/intel-backlight does for
(again) Intel cards. Look through its source and also:

sys/external/bsd/drm2/dist/drm/radeon/radeon_atombios_encoders.c
sys/external/bsd/drm2/dist/drm/radeon/radeon_legacy_encoders.c

Hope these help...
