Hi There,

I wanted to recall this report. I know it's not a major thing, but as it 
has been working formerly, and very convenient, so why not to mention 
again.

I think the brightness button handler disappeared after the huge changes 
were committed  for i915 into the current branch last summer.
The NetBSD8 kernel is still perfect. Only current lacks the feature.

Isn't there a possibility to reimplement it based on the working 
NetBSD8?

Thank you:
