Did the dmesg's output releate with the LCD backlight problem?

Btw, my laptop's /sys/class/backlight/ directory is empty.

And there's no "intel_backlight" with this command: sudo find /sys/ -type f -iname '*brightness*'

Hi,
   The backlight issue is solved, just replace 'nomodeset' with 'i915.enable_psr=0' in grub, then backlight adjustment and screen flicker problem are both OK.

   ACPI still have a lot red alert message, but they do not bring obvoius bad effect by now, so this bug report could be closed.
