When I tried to do that ([1]), I didn't look like that. > Is your patch already available publically? More or less. It depends on the exact change. The change you proposed was only for i915, and it's hard to push it that way. My change would be for all backlight drivers, and will update the documentation about the interface, so it's clear what we provide to user-space. The developers are not certain that 0 being off is bad, but they seem to agree that consistency is desirable (so if 0 is off, it should be off on all drivers). However, they don't think it's possible to achieve this consistency, but I think my patch can do that. We'll see. > (In reply to Felipe Contreras from comment #5) > > Just to be clear; if you boot with acpi_osi="!Windows 2012", everything is > > fine, and you don't notice any adverse effects? > > Yes. You can see [2] for the details. All right, thanks. I'll add it to the list. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
