Adjusting backlight using the laptop keys for this work in KDE when I
boot with acpi_backlight=vendor and without invert_brightness=1.  I am
not sure if the buttons work the right way, though (never seen which
should increase or decrease the brighness), so it might be inverted.

Is it possible to tell acpi_backlight to invert the brighness setting?
Would it affect i915 too?
