Public bug reported: On an Acer Travelmate 8481TG using the default-config, the screen's brightness can't be controlled (with Fn+cursor-key), altought the event is recognized (and displayed in a popup in the upper right corner of the screen).
With the kernel-parameter "acpi_backlight=vendor" the brightness-control works (with Function-Key), but then another problem arises: When the screen is switched of via DPMS (automatically after 10 minutes, or manually with "xset dpms force off"), it can't be reactivated by moving the mouse or pressing any key (as without acpi_backlight=vendor), instead the screen has to be reactivated with the brightnes-control-keys (which does not work while the screen is locked).
