Just another confirm for working after running 'xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native'.
I'm now running 8.10 so I'll scream with joy in here when it's working for me.

One thing I am noticing though, is that the reaction time is pretty slow. When I press the Fn+F5/6 it takes almost a second to change. This keeps me from being able to quickly tap down the brightness next to bottom.

One other thing I've been noticed (previous work arounds as well)... When turning the brightness all the way down, the screen goes from slightly visible (about the lowest I can use it) to pretty much entirely black.

Either way - :D :D :D

Side Note: Touchpad doesn't work quiet the same and has a very narrow right scroll. As well as I need to test out all the other hardware such as external monitor since it might work now. :D
