    Can't change backlight after installing AMD 14.12 driver

    Hello,
    I have a problem, finally i installed AMD driver, latest version, with previous version i've had some problems, but now it's working, but i can't change backlight, i was changing /etc/default/grub file, and didn't change anything. Hotkeys are not in function, and when i change brightness in battery menu it is same, it's everything same, no changes
    I tried to change backlight file and it says permission denied, i loged like root and change value, but there is no difference.
    I changed line in grub and lost brightness menu in battery, i changed this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to look like this "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linuxacpi_backlight=vendor"".
    And still i have same problem.
    Anyone to help?

    Can we assume the missing space between Linux and acpi is a typo in your post and not in your boot line?

      I've made mistake in typing in my post, i have space in boot line.
      And i forgot to say, my laptop is Toshiba Satellite C50D-A-10U.

        I know AMD is not nVidia but in the latter's case it can be fixed by creating an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file containing:

        Code:
             Section "Device"
                Identifier    "Default Device"
                Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
                Option    "NoLogo"    "True"
            EndSection
        Or go to a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F4) and use the brightness keys form there.

        I repeat, this it what works on nVidia.
