most laptops have special circuitry to control the display - sometimes available via acpi. sometimes via other more esoteric means. unfortunately illumos has very little support here - very often the details are proprietary and only available under NDA. (I recall this was true for Toshibas we added this support for nearly a decade ago.) You are probably out of luck here. :/ If Linux can do it then there is at least a chance someone could add it - but to be honest it’s probably not a priority.
There are folks you can probably pay to develop this if information is available - my own company for one - but I doubt its worth to you what anyone qualified would charge you. :/ On Mon, Mar 26, 2018 at 8:06 PM Horse with no name <lohi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Greetings, > > I am running smartos [ joyent_20180315T080815Z ] on Lenovo T420, I have a > bunch of VMs running as well.
