This laptop has an BIOS option "Switchable Graphics"=
. When the options is
selected, it behaves like a normal Optimus laptop. In this case, brightness
sysfs works since it's driven by Intel graphics.
When the options is deselected, the Intel graphics device disappears, Nvidi=
a is
the only graphics device. The issue happens in this case.
Changing /sys/class/backlight/nv_backlight/brightness, the brightness level
remains the same - almost no backlight.
Using proprietary driver, brightness gets changed correctly by
/sys/class/backlight/nvidia_0/brightness.
No trace while using MMIOTRACE, under proprietary driver.
