Hello!

# uname -a
FreeBSD titanic.rootkea.me 10.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE #0
r274401: Tue Nov 11 21:02:49 UTC 2014

My brightness control keys don't work. When I press "Decrease
brightness" key nothing happens whereas when I press "Increase
brightness" key the continuous string of . (dot) appears on the
application running in foreground.

I tried `kldload acpi_video` but then when I tried to decrease the
brightness at first nothing happened and the suddenly brightness
dropped to minimum. Then when I tried to increase the brightness to
normal by pressing "Increase brightness" key the system went to reboot
automatically.

So how do I control the brightness of my FreeBSD box?
