Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2011 14:17:16 +0100 Message-ID: <4D84ACDC.7010904@fedoraproject.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-acpi-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Matthew Garrett Cc: linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org, intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org List-Id: intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org Hi, Is there an updated version of the native backlight patchset that Matthew posted in November? http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.acpi.devel/48145 On my Sony Vaio Y, Intel Ironlake/Arrandale integrated graphics, I'm having problems setting my backlight level through /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 -- all inputs seem to be ignored: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34417 and it looks like the same issue that is being tracked by Ubuntu's Kamal Mostafa, based on Matthew's patchset: https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/linux-kamal-mjgbacklight I've not been able to find a patchset newer than the one from November, and if I apply patches 1 & 2 (skipping 3 & 4 because they don't apply to i915), I get a kernel with broken KMS. Should I apply #5 as well? I'll wait to see if there's a newer patchset before trying that, though. Matthew, do you have a public kernel git tree I can clone from?
