Subject: nouveau exposes backlight controls in presence of ACPI
Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:49:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101029154934.GA2076@aeneby.se> (raw)

It seems to be de facto standard to only expose kernel-level backlight controls in the absence of ACPI, however nouveau does this regardless of whether ACPI equivalents are available or not. This will confuse userspace in some situations. Does this need patching or is there some reason for this behaviour?
