Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ACPI / video: Quirk initial backlight level 0
Date: Wed, 06 Nov 2013 09:07:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5279963E.8030109@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <52799553.7020406@intel.com>
Some firmware doesn't initialize initial backlight level to a proper
value and _BQC will return 0 on first time evaluation. We used to be
able to detect such incorrect value with our code logic, as value 0
normally isn't a valid value in _BCL. But with the introduction of Win8,
firmware begins to fill _BCL with values from 0 to 100, now 0 becomes
a valid value but that value will make user's screen black. This patch
test initial _BQC for value 0, if such a value is returned, do not use
it.
