You should try ACPIBacklight.kext: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-ACPI-Backlight

That is common. With most laptops, the ACPI backlight methods in DSDT don't actually work. You might investigate what they do and see if you can debug them or otherwise replace them. It can be time consuming.

Hy there, I've been away for a while, (I'm currently working in France), well, I've everything working on my Asus G74Sx-371V except for the Backlight.
I'm currently on Yosemite 10.10.1, and I wold really like to see this problem solved. I've also keybord backlight working, but it starts always in the lowest level, not like in windows that it gets recorded the last state.
Well if know anything about backlight let me know please, also If you need any of the kext's I'm using I'll be glad to provide.
Good Hacks.
