Except "thinkpad_acpi brightness_enable=1" only gives me 15 levels instead of 255, it doesn't go all the way off, and it can only go up to half-brightness when I'm on battery power. But you're of course right, setpci is unsafe like that. -jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
