I don't think this will happen for 2.6.8 which is going to be shipped in sarge, but the 2.6.11 kernels i announced earlier have rivafb enabled. They are thus too big for miboot though, so ... Could you get the 2.6.11-0.1 kernels from people.debian.org/~luther/powerpc, and try them out and confirm that this is indeed fixed for the backlight control ?
