--- Comment #110 from Peter Klotz <peter.kl...@aon.at>  2009-04-09 06:35:16 ---
The final patch from comment #109 made it work perfectly!

Thanks a lot Zhang for all your efforts!

r...@asus:/proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD# cat brightness 
levels:  10 16 21 27 33 39 45 51 57 63 69 74 81 87 93 100
current: 100

Using "echo xx > brightness" works for all listed values.

Using the brightness keys in Gnome gives this mapping between values in
/proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness and
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness.

100/15, 87/13, 74/11, 63/9, 51/7, 39/5, 27/3, 16/1, 10/0

The value of /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness always matches the
value of /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness.

The visible screen brightness matches this values in all cases. Brightness can
now smoothly be changed from low to high using the brightness keys.

This leads to two more questions:

* When will these patches go into mainline (I hope they will)?
* Do I always need the customized DSDT or was it only necessary for debugging
purposes?
