Comment (by tqh):

 It is probably ACPI and not graphics driver that controls backlight.
 Backlight is more part of a display than gfx driver. Try booting with ACPI
 disabled. Btw, writing ACPI drivers is easy and fun ;)

 ACPI Spec 4.0a Chapter B.6 list these functions and more:
  * _BCL (Query List of Brightness Control Levels Supported)
  * _BCM (Set the Brightness Level)
  * _BQC (Brightness Query Current level)
