------- Comment #54 from tetrom...@gmail.com 2009-02-08 18:18 ------- (In reply to comment #52) Thomas: on the ThinkPad SL series, both the _BCL and _BQC methods are non-standard (see comments in my code and in the discussion of this bug). As for a video.c only solution, I agree it would be nice, but I am not sure if it's necessary because in 2.6.28 and higher, there is a good mechanism to prevent video.c and platform drivers from stepping on each others' toes: acpi_video_backlight_support() and related functions, implemented in video_detect.c You can use it manually with the new kernel parameter acpi_backlight; if acpi_backlight=vendor, then video.c will refrain from touching the backlight, leaving platform drivers to do it. video_detect.c can also automatically blacklist certain platforms for video.c; Zhang Rui's patch (comment #34) would make it automatically blacklist backlight functionality in laptops with broken _BQC and _BCM methods. -- 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
