Has anybody else tried Karmic with one of the -intel chips? The "old" in-driver method for controlling the LVDS backlight does not work with KMS. I reported a bug a while back[1], but it seems to be going nowhere, and the triager unsubscribed.
1. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/388216 So now I'm looking at the issue to see if I can resolve it, but I thought I would ask first if anybody *does* have a working backlight with -intel on karmic. I'm using a macbook3,1 which has a 965 "X3100" card, but having it working on any apple machine with intel graphics would be useful (as I'd be curious what method it is using there). Also, I found a bug report where rydberg requested adding mbp_backlight to the -intel driver[2]. As far as I can tell, mbp_backlight only provides functionality for nvidia graphics, right? Or does it provide general apple backlight support as well? 2. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/417770 I haven't yet looked at applesmc to see if (screen) backlight support exists there. -- Chris Irwin e: [email protected] w: http://chrisirwin.ca
