On some os you need to add samsung_backlight module to modules list. (f.e /etc/modules) After reboot it should work.

Other samsung laptop models

If you've got samsung laptop with intel graphics card and it hasn't supported backlight control, you could create an issue with "lspci -nn" and "dmidecode -s system-product-name " information.
