Now, that was trivial to fix, and I will reply with a patch (which will have Cc's trimmed to just the MLs and Richard). But really, should not the backlight *class* be doing the initial update of the brightness? Looks like something that every device would need to do if the class doesn't do it, and unlike the "power it off on unregister" thing, I can't think of a reason not to do it for every backlight class device. Please ACK the ibm-acpi patch in my next message if you'd like me to submit it to Len Brown for merging into 2.6.21, or NACK it if you'd rather do it in the backlight class core. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
