Subject: Put acpi/backlight code into kernel
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2009 20:34:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200908222034.28782.schmirrwurst@googlemail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I'm trying to bring devs to support for backlight on nv50 cards for above 1
year, without any success
A lot of laptop (from mac, hp, samsung) doesn't have laptop_panel in hal, and
therefore no support for acpi/backlight..., and no entry in /proc/acpi/video
nor /sys/class/backlight
Kernel team is not reacting, hal team won't fix, devicekit need standardise
i/o...
I've tried nouveau, the acpi/backlight support works pretty well, but the
driver itself is unusable for lambda users, it needs some times...
So I'm asking if someone could put the backlight code in a kernel module, or
in the kernel itself, for people to have backlight support even when using
nvidia driver or nv, or vesa... ???
