What I wanted to say is that you should use the generic backlight class (!=driver) to expose these. You can look at asus-wmi.c to see how it's done. Then users will be able to choose the backlight implementation using acpi_backlight=vendor or acpi_backlight=video. -- Corentin Chary http://xf.iksaif.net -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
