It's better this way because the RandR case has to be supported by the tools anyway. Because there are drivers for which there is no kernel backlight driver. One example is intel legacy - it's still exposed by the intel xorg driver. > Maybe we should add an xrandr interface to adjust the sound card volume.

You remember there *were* standardization processes running to get audio over X working. They were all broken by design, though, as far as I remember, but many people would still love to see this happen. Unlikely any time soon (or later), though. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
