------- Comment #58 from tr...@suse.de 2009-02-09 01:00 ------- Argh, also the ASUS have this? Then this really should not be in a SL Lenovo driver. This also makes it very likely that Windows can handle this in a generic way, I doubt ASUS and Lenovo developed a Windows brightness driver together. > I can do it, and in fact, I also have a couple of ACPI video cleanups in hand. > But I'm afraid I can not start until next week. Rui: This would be very much appreciated. It would be great if you CC me when you post your outcomes or if I should have a look at them. But I do not have such a machine, I hope the guys in this bug can help you out a bit with testing. > 1. maximum value doesn't equal 100 Good idea, this should work in all cases, unless we hit the next level of brokeness. > 2. the brightness levels are sequential numbers start from 0. Not sure whether this is always the case? 1. should be enough? Another criteria could be: highest value must be lower than amount of brightness levels? > video_detect.c can also automatically blacklist certain platforms for video.c Yeah, but this list should be as small as possible. It's also mainly thought for ACPI vs native drivers, when there are cases where the native ones behaves better. But on your machines it looks like the generic driver can be tweaked to make things work. We should at least try hard to get it working and only blacklist if we do not see a way to do it generically (otherwise every not yet blacklisted machine will not work if you rely on blacklisting). -- 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.
