On these laptops, the ACPI video is not functional, and very unlikely
to be fixed by the vendor. Note that intel_backlight works for some
of these laptops, and the backlight from samsung-laptop always work.

The good news is that newer laptops have functional ACPI video device
and won't end up growing this list.

NF110/NF210/NF310

intel_backlight does work, better than the SABI interface in fact. But
the Xorg driver prefers acpi_video0 to intel_backlight, so having a
working intel_backlight isn't doing much good.
