I have a computer with Intel graphics and Hipster
20140701 installed. Xorg refuses to use intel_drv.so
and falls back on using vesa_drv.so, I understand
this is not going to improve soon.

The fall back to vesa is totally unusable because the
brigthness is forced to maximum and hurts the eyes and
the slider for brightness on "Power Management" has no
effect.

Is there another way to adjust the brightness level with
the vesa driver ?
