Awesome! I found the EC register for changing the backlight on my laptop using acer_ec.pl.
Register 0xE2 - Set screen brightness to <value>
Min: 0x00 Max: unknown
Windows Brightness key Min: 0x14 Max: 0x5F
Register 0xE3 - Fade out screen brightness from <value>
This is for HP dv6535ep laptop which should be similar to any other HP laptop in the 6xxx series.
I'll look at other backlight drivers if I can do something..
