>Description:
I cannot adjust screen brightness using sysctl -w

I tried to adjust my laptop computer, which is Acer Swift 1, LCD screen brightness by these commands:

sysctl -w hw.acpi.acpiout15.brightness=0

sysctl -w hw.acpi.acpiout15.brightness=10

sysctl -w hw.acpi.acpiout15.brightness=50

sysctl -w hw.acpi.acpiout15.brightness=100

sysctl -w hw.acpi.acpiout15.brightness=200

sysctl -w hw.acpi.acpiout15.brightness=1000

But none of those commands change the screen brightness. I got hw.acpi.acpiout15.brightness from ``sysctl -a | grep bright''


>How-To-Repeat:
1. Boot the computer with NetBSD 8
2. Login as root
3. Type the command sysctl -w hw.acpi.acpiout15.brightness=0
4. Press enter
