------- Comment #10 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-01-07 14:37 ------- I can say that: >Please confirm that if you remove the ACPI video driver from 2.6.23, that the hotkey actions you describe stop working. No it`s not true! I can remove this driver and brightness keys continue to work. It work in grub also and began to work! >What do you see if you revert drivers/acpi/video.c in 2.6.24 to the version that shipped in 2.6.23? Nothing happens! Expect that in .23 echo [value] > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness doesnt work but it work in .24 very well! In 24 brightness keys as I notice rty to work in console but not in X! On toshoba there are 7 states of brighness. So in console I can reduce from 7 to 0 via 5 3 1 steps and grow via 1 2 4 6 states - it`s unnormal! And it only began to work if I tune brightness during kernel booting process :) In .23 works all fn+F[1-11] + fn+Esc keys! They generate event`s in atkbd.c so I have an opportunitu to write programm to manage them - as in windows. Toshutils doesn`t work in loptops wiht phoenix bios :( . But now with .24 kernel I can`t do this. I think It would be good idea to return old .23 behavior (expect broken software brightness management in /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness ). But I don`t understand how. Is anywhere patches only beween old .23 and new .24 acpi subsutem? All other part of .23 kernel I don`t want to upgrade. The Idea is to upgrade only ACPI and see to the results...
