------- Comment #52 from tr...@suse.de  2009-02-08 15:39 -------
Alexandre: Looking at your driver, it looks like it's mostly doing the same
than the video.c driver (from brightness perspective), but uses the return
value of _BQC (brightness current) as an index of the _BCL (brightness control
levels) returned array instead of values in percent.
I wonder whether we could sanity check and handle this in the video driver.
Possibly with dmi matching and go for the index based solution then.
While all other vendor specific brightness drivers have an own interface, this
one makes use of the generic ACPI brightness functions and would interfere with
the generic video driver in not-solvable way (maybe dmi blacklisting again, but
then it's still better to do all the _BQC, _BCL, _BCM processing in the video
driver).
I try to get some info and come back in some days. Any comments about the
video.c only brightness solution are very welcome.
