Thank's for your DSDT, I just added comment on bugzilla.
This machine support newest WMID GUID3 method but the old WMID_GUID2
method must be also work. 

I am tracing DSDT for why the WMID2 method return acpi fail, and maybe
this machine direct support standard ACPI backlight method.

Sorry for I didn't follow up this mail loop and maybe lose some
information.
Does this machine's backlight control works before 2.6.39 kernel? I mean
does backlight control works fine on 2.6.38 or 37 or even older kernel ?


Thank's a lot!
Joey Lee
