OS is FreeBSD, all installed from ports.

Laptop is Lenovo 320.

The Radeon driver is configured with:

Section "Device"
         Identifier "Card0"
         Driver "scfb"
         BusID "pci0:0:1:0"
EndSection

This is the only text that the xorg configuration has.


Backlight feature is certainly supported by the hardware, because there 
are corresponding Fn-Fxx keys that work in Windows.
