I've been eyeballing these links:

http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/Envy-14-display-backlight-controls-not-working-under-Linux/td-p/289176
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/568611/

The Linux kernel apparently has backlight handlers and the ACPI kernel can either use the ACPI method or some "vendor" method (I think those are the handlers).  I get a "Cannot find a backlight controller" error when I boot, and that code is in the radeon drm2 driver (sys/dev/drm2/radeon/radeon_acpi.c).

(I added the *ERROR* lines to debug).  It looks like the Linux changes mentioned in the 2nd link would go in there...but I gave up looking at it until I had more spare time.
