Here is an old discussion about it: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Lenovo-Y570-backlight-td5726207.html
I have a Lenovo Y570, the battery life is short too. I can't choose the Nvidia card in the BIOS but I can choose the Intel card. My main problem is the brightness issue, it is very disappointing.

I am using 10.0-ALPHA5 now, and the LCD brightness is still hurting my eyes. Switching to the text console doesn't work for me with KMS.

mmm waiting for a bios update can take a while. :(
Can this be helpful in any way? Maybe there is a way to control the level of the backlight brightness instead of just switching it on or off?
Thanks Sim, unfortunately it doesn't work.. I wish I could use the nvidia driver but this laptop uses Optimus Technology "2 graphics cards". nvidia driver causes it to restart. And I can't disable the intel graphics card from the BIOS.
