------- Comment #8 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-04-06 19:29 ------- It is *not* OK to set brightness to some arbitrary value. There is no reason to believe it is initialized to max either (what if user boots on battery?). The only sane thing we can do - do not touch it at all and clearly indicate it to user. Then it is up to user to (try to) change it. After discussion with Richard I will try to provide patch later this week that a) initialize brightness to -1 if no _BQC b) never tries to change brightness in HW if it is -1 c) emits warning on init if no _BQC so user at least knows what's going on d) always returns -1 if _BQC is not available indicating to user that this value is not known -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Register now and save $200.
