Description stratovarius 2012-06-19 14:29:42 UTC 
İ have radeon mobility hd 3470 card , my system is x86_64.  Before kernel 3.4.2 i check /sys/class/backlight/ file and i have setting about brightness setting(acpi_video) in this folder and i dont have any problem about brightness.

After update my kernel to 3.4.2 or new /sys/class/backlight/ is empty. 

Ps: i have same problem with both open driver (free) and fglrx driver. 

My laptop is sony vaio vgn-fw21e.
