Regards, Maurizio Maybe you want to use CTLFLAG_RWTUN so that it also can be set from /boot/loader.conf ? --HPS The ability to set the backlight at startup may be useful. With this new patch I expose two ways to do this: - with the tunable drm.i915.init_backlight in /boot/loader.conf, just after the driver initialization (eg. drm.i915.init_backlight=20) - with the OID hw.dri.0.i915_backlight in /etc/sysctl.conf as suggested by Hans I don’t know if setting the backlight with the tunable drm.i915.init_backlight is useful, but I have already written the code and is simple to remove it. The patch file is i915_backlight.patch at https://github.com/maurizio-emmex/i915_backlight_freebsd Regards, Maurizio ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
