    I can't control my Netbook's brightness using terminal

    I'm trying to control my Netbook's brightness using terminal.
    This is the output of "ls /sys/class/backlight" command:


    intel_backlight


    Here's the output of "sudo lspci -vnn | grep -A10 VGA" command:


    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:a011] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:a001]

    Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
    Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2

    I've tried this:
    echo 5 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
    This:
    xbacklight -set 50
    This:
    sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=7f
    All these give no output message.
    I added "acpi_backlight=vendor" to kernel paramiter.
    But nothing worked. Please help

    In addition to the parameter "acpi_backlight=vendor", could you also add "acpi_osi=Linux"? (without the quotes)

    Also, what does this say?
    Code:
    cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
