Or fbutils.
fblevel uses the PMU_IOC_SET_BACKLIGHT ioctl; unless the ix86 guys
(and others) implement that one I don't see the point in adding fblevel to
fbutils ?
We need some new fbdev ioctls to handle backlight and other things like
video mirroring, etc...
This is not simple. For example,

Does anyone know when this bug will be fixed. I want to install helixgnome but
can't compile because installation of xlib6g-dev fails.

Could the recently added keventd thread be used for this? I don't like the
idea of adding kernel threads just for one thing. One kernel thread for
all relatively slow operations which may need a process context is
reasonable however.
I'll investigate.
No, I thought the deep sleep modes were
Similar issues happen with things like mirroring multihead. Some chips
can do mirroring only (I have code for mach64 to do that), so in this
case, a single ioctl is enough to enable/disable it.
You have code for mirroring on mach64? Do share :-)
Works with LT-G (wallstreet), not tested on

BTW: what is the minimum RAM to run Liunx/PPC these days ? My smallest
(quasi embedded) machines have 16Mb and I hope to keep these running for
at least 5 to 7 more years.
2.4.x runs reasonably well on a 8Mb machine here.

I saw a couple things in your Screen section that should be changed. For the
sake of argument, I will assume that you have at least 2MB of video RAM. That
being said, here are my suggestions:
