The "SCOPE" sections set the base path for the devices in a block, so if you find "device vga", scroll up and you'll Replace * with _BCL then _BCM -i "value in bcl results" (the bcl results are kind of readable in hex) _SB.PCI0.PEG0.VGA.LCD.* _SB.PCI0.PEG1.VGA.LCD.* _SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02.* Are all I can find. There might be another issue than the thinkpad one at play if none work. All the BCMs call the AINT method (which I hope doesn't stand for AINT GONNA WORK :) ) They all are shell functions for the one under GFX0 (which also has a bunch of thermal checks, maybe it's the best bet). One other method to try is this LVLS method under any of the above...it is involved in transforming the incoming level to ec-values I think?

The Y series doesn't have the HKEY stuff, or it's not the same. You want
acpi_video (as does every new Lenovo, thinkpad or not).
The problem is Lenovo is putting the "correct" _BCL/_BCM under "PEG"
devicessection from your dsdt follows, temporary workaround test
after that
Device (LCD)
{
Method (_ADR, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Return (0x0110)
}
Method (LVLS, 1, NotSerialized)
{
Store (One, Local0)
Store (Zero, Local1)
If (LEqual (OSYS, 0x07DC))
{
Store (0x14, Local5)
Store (PLV2, Local6)
}
Else
{
Store (0x0F, Local5)
Store (PLVL, Local6)
}
While (Local0)
{
Add (Local1, 0x02, Local2)
Store (DerefOf (Index (Local6, Local2)), Local3)
And (Arg0, 0xFF, Local4)
If (LEqual (Local4, Local3))
{
Store (Zero, Local0)
}
Subtract (Local3, One, Local3)
If (LEqual (Local4, Local3))
{
Store (Zero, Local0)
}
If (LGreaterEqual (Local1, Local5))
{
Store (Zero, Local0)
}
If (Local0)
{
Add (One, Local1, Local1)
}
}
Return (Local1)
}
Method (_BCL, 0, NotSerialized)
{
If (LNotEqual (OSYS, 0x07DC))
{
Return (PLVL)
}
Else
{
Return (PLV2)
}
}
Method (_BCM, 1, NotSerialized)
{
If (IGDS)
{
Store (GFX0.DD02.LVLS (Arg0), Local1)
Store (Local1, LPCB.EC0.BRTS)
GFX0.AINT (One, Arg0)
}
Else
{
Store (LVLS (Arg0), Local1)
Store (Local1, LPCB.EC0.BRTS)
}
Store (Arg0, BRTL)
}
Method (_BQC, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Return (BRTL)
}
}
}
}
This would be under _SB.PCI0.PEG0.VGA
Try acpi_call -p '\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.VGA.LCD._BCL'
then
acpi_call -p '\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.VGA.LCD._BCL' -i 50
Experiment with the numbers.
We need to fix acpi_video so it attaches to the correct _BCL on these
laptops.

Me neither. My Thinkpad T23 ASL shows this ID at:
Device (HKEY)
{
Name (_HID, EisaId ("IBM0068"))
Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Return (0x0F)
}
but I see no obvious corresponding device or other reference in yours.

Sorry, that was my one shot; now I'm out of my depth (and off to sleep)
[ Baptiste, fair enough that patch not making it into 9.1 .. and it
seems there's more to getting this particular model going anyway. ]

Install sysutils/acpi_call kldload acpi_call acpi_call -p '\VBRC' -i [0-15] There seem to be some differences on the range, but in my T530 0=off and 15=full. Unfortunately, the brightness functions do not generate X events and I have not seen any posts on how to tie them to anything to adjust brightness. -- R.

Use xev to find the events generated by the volume buttons. Mute and the ThinkLight (if your system has one) should work as is. Brightness is a bit bigger issue as Lenovo has completely revamped it These buttons don't generate events. :-( You can install the acpi_call port and use it to set the brightness, but it is a pain as it does not allow for setting incremental changes, only absolute values.(16 of them).
