Comment:

 This is a duplicate of #8258.

 The only reason it worked before was that BIOS was handling your
 brightness, so it is not really a regression, but an unimplemented
 feature. BIOS handling gets disabled when ACPI starts. A driver for
 handling brightness has never been fully implemented. It's not very
 complicated, while it is on my TODO I can't do that until I have Haiku
 working on my laptop.

 The debug output I'm not sure about, I think Jerome added some debugging
 info.
