Actually, the "standard" internal ACPI brightness level struct (BRTN in =
the DSDT) is laid out as:

* "Full power" value (one byte, the value at which the brightness should =
be set on AC by default)
* "Economy" value (one byte, the value at which the brightness should be =
set on battery by default)
* Actual values (N bytes, up to Max but frequently not)

So, no, that value indeed sounds correct.  On my laptop the value is:
80 47 0 7 13 20 27 33 40 47 53 60 67 73 80 87 93 100

What revision of -CURRENT are you running?  What is the outcome of =
trying the patch posted Saturday morning (UTC) from Elizabeth Myers =
(message ID <54CC5311.9070604@interlinked.me>)?
