Hrm.  That is interesting.  A few questions I have then.

- What happens if you set drm.i915.invert_brightness to -1 in kenv(1) or =
/boot/loader.conf?

- What happens if you set drm.i915.invert_brightness to 1 in kenv(1) or =
/boot/loader.conf?

- What version of graphics/libdrm do you have installed?  Did you =
rebuild it after installing the new kernel?  (This shouldn't be =
necessary, but I am trying to gather all details.)

Let's start there and see if we can pin down a cause.

Best,
Andrew
