A BIG thank you to all involved, especially Kamal for the tremendous efforts on this!
After one year owning that Dell Studio 1558 I finally can use linux! Freedom! It works with "acpi_backlight=vendor dell_laptop.backlight=0". I hated it before because it was burning my eyes with backlight to the max. For the record, my laptop configuration is: Intel Core i5 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18) Full HD display I could not manage to get the kernel 2.x.x patched and recompiled... It was way easier in the old Slackware days. Or it is just me getting old... Anyways, I can't explain how glad I am to see kernel 3 supports the nasty Dell acpi!
