-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For quite some time now, I was a happy user of the asus_acpi kernel module. Lately, however, I've updated to newer Linus kernels and haven't been able to get the backlight controls to work (since the move from /proc to /sys).
I suspect this is just something silly I'm doing. The information below came from the driver version shipped in the 2.6.21.5 kernel, but I had previously tried to get things working with earlier cvs versions of the driver with little luck. The permissions on ls_level and ls_switch (also ledd) are set to 000, which would seem to indicate a change from the previous behavior of allowing writes to these files to select the desired behavior. I tried upping the permissions, but I got the same permission denied error and assume this is related to something happening inside the kernel module itself. Under class/backlight, I can write to brightness and read it back under either brightness or actual_brightness, but I wouldn't expect to see anything until I can turn off the automatic settings from the light-sensor. The mail led works as well. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
