Issue Description:

I've been experiencing persistent issues with brightness and display on my Fedora workstation. Sometimes, the brightness becomes very low, and I can't fix it without rebooting the laptop. This issue also occurred on Ubuntu, and it happened twice recently.

Just a few minutes ago, my display went completely black, and I had to hold the power button to shut down and restart the laptop. Here are the relevant errors from the log:

nvidia 0000:01:00.0: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes

...

ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [_SB.PEP.DETY], AE_NOT_FOUND (20240827/psargs-332)

...

ACPI Error: Aborting method _SB.WMID.WMAA due to previous error (AE_NOT_FOUND) (20240827/psparse-529)

These issues don't occur consistently, making it difficult to reproduce them. I can perform all tasks normally, including gaming, without encountering these problems most of the time.

If I cannot resolve this issue once and for all, I may revert to Windows 11. Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

See if turning off the auto brightness in the power settings help
- I do not have this option.
Do u use nvidia as main card, not as 3d accerelstion only for games? I personally use for all cases Intel graphics for everything and nvidia as accelerator with switcheroo-control to call nvidia rendering.DM to me don't wanna spam in comments.
- No, I use AMD iGPU as the main card.
  
  weird then,try add this parametrs
  
  options nvidia NVreg_UsePageAttributeTable=1 \ NVreg_InitializeSystemMemoryAllocations=0 \ NVreg_DynamicPowerManagement=0x02 \ NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0 options nvidia_drm modeset=1 fbdev=1
  
  in /usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf save and reboot
/etc/modprobe.d/stop-fucking-my-brightness.conf

blacklist hid_sensor_hub

Should fix your issues after a reboot
- I only experienced screen blackness once after reinstalling Fedora; I have not experienced the low brightness issue. The problem is that I do not encounter this problem frequently and do not know how to replicate it.
- Blacklisted the module today. Hope it will fix the issue.
- This didn't solve the issue; the display went black again today.
  
  Huh, then no idea
