-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. Backlight support on Dell laptops has recently made great strides in working under linux. The 0.5.9 release of HAL in combine with the libsmbios package and the loading of the kernel module dcdbas enables backlight to work in Ubuntu.
As of now, there is a backport of the 0.5.9 in Feisty Fawn. Unfortunately, the dell backlight addon is missing from this package. The cause is probably that the build machine lacked the libsmbios-library. I would like to know how I can participate in getting the HAL backport rebuilt with Dell backlight support added, making libsmbios a dependency of HAL and finally make Ubuntu autoload the dcdbas module. With kind regards Erik Andrén -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGRyfGN7qBt+4UG0ERAmPrAJ0ZCHU8exXEnNCdbr4JGf9Z+3DBiwCgjZbO p1ep+fEG1uGye3LcoZBLnvk= =ai13 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
