Re: [PATCH] toshiba_acpi: fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality

I'm running FC10 on my toshiba, and pressing the hot-keys
gives me 8 levels, so somehow Fedora chooses the toshiba
levels instead of the ACPI video levels. I too would view it
as a regression if this went down to 3 levels, even if it
is working by pure luck today. Unfortunately, Andrey
is using a distro or window system that is less lucky?:-)

I like Henrique's suggestion of having the drivers register
a quality with the backlight sub-system and somehow having
the highest quality driver win. In the case of a tie,
however, I'd want the ACPI video driver to win:-)

cheers,
