SOLVED! It seems I was close, just needed to force brightness to 100% again after starting i915kms. Other possibly important parts are acpi_video and drm2 modules. So to some up my findings:-Load modules acpi_video acpi_asus acpi_asus_wmi drm2 i915kms-run "intel-backlight 100" I will post these to the forums as well so this mailing list won't be bothered anymore. Thanks.

However, when X starts it is VERY dim (brightness level 0?) even though I have loaded the "acpi_asus", "acpi_asus_wmi" and sysctl reports brightness at "100". About a month ago I had downed the development branch of this work (before it was submitted to head) and compiled it and had success using the above mentioned modules I believe. But it no longer works for me. Has anyone else noticed this? Have I forgotten a crucial step or is there a regression in the code or something else at foot here? Any insight where to look next would be appreciated. I think that this has been posted before on the mail list, and I also suffer from this. On the other hand, setting hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness to some value > 0 does light up the screen. So I have a startup script to set this when starting the session. My machine is a Zenbook UX51VZ with Intel HD Graphics 4000.
