There must surely be *something* we can do about it, given that the brightness controls work perfectly under Vista. That proves it's at least possible to make this work on the current hardware, with the current BIOS. As the laptop's owner, I'm happy to file support requests with Lenovo. But I'd need your help writing the text of that request. Tell me what you want me to report and I'll do it. That same offer still stands regarding the fact that when using the video module, /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video1 treats levels 0-19 as no-ops. I am happy to open technical support request with Lenovo complaining about this as a BIOS bug, but I need you to write (or help me write) that text. You said that this is a Lenovo BIOS bug, I really don't know the first thing about ACPI internals, so I wouldn't even know how to describe the problem. > BTW, if I was sure it was a better idea to use the ACPI video > interface before, I am more even so now. Does that mean I de-blacklist the video module and go back to trying to get that debugged to the point of usability? Or are you saying that the thinkpad_acpi module itself will be modified (presumably by you) to use the ACPI video interface? Is there anything else I can try for now to get working brightness controls, or should I just wait for further news or code releases from you? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
