backlight gone?

backlight gone?

[Norbert Preining]

Hi everyone,

I have seen that on lkml, too, and experience it myself: Suddenly the
backlight is gone:
[    2.018622] No ACPI video bus found
up to 2.6.37 there was one ...

There are some other things regarding i915/drm in my dmesg:
[    1.520109] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[    1.520190] i915 0000:00:02.0: power state changed by ACPI to D0
[    1.520246] i915 0000:00:02.0: power state changed by ACPI to D0
[    1.520305] i915 0000:00:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
[    1.520363] i915 0000:00:02.0: setting latency timer to 64

[    1.572895] [drm] Supports vblank timestamp caching Rev 1 (10.10.2010).
[    1.572952] [drm] Driver supports precise vblank timestamp query.
[    1.573312] [drm:intel_dsm_pci_probe] *ERROR* failed to get supported _DSM functions
[    1.620092] vgaarb: device changed decodes: PCI:0000:00:02.0,olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=io+mem:owns=io+mem
[    2.015219] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 200x56
[    2.018568] fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device
[    2.018590] drm: registered panic notifier
[    2.018622] No ACPI video bus found
[    2.018842] [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0

That is with latest git kernel.

Anything else needed here?

Best wishes

Norbert
