Comment:

 On B1, build 536, using the new brightness up/down keys (first two in
 rightmost bar) to change
 the brightness.  It doesn't let me set the brightness down to 1 (which I
 can do via /sys/class/backlight/dcon-bl/brightness).  The lowest available
 setting seems to be 2, which
 probably burns significantly more power than 1.  Since the hardware can do
 it, and it saves
 power, it seems foolish to leave out a user interface that makes it
 accessible.
