Subject: 2.6.28 regression: xbacklight broken on ThinkPad X61s
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2009 09:39:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090105083911.GA3694@x61> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 466 bytes --]
Hi,
xbacklight is broken as of 2.6.28 on my ThinkPad X61s. It works with
2.6.27(.8) The difference I can see between both kernels is that 2.6.27
has 2 backlight ACPI devices, whereas 2.6.28 only has one device. With
2.6.28, I can use xbacklight and see the values change in xbacklight
-get, but the actual display brightness doesn't change.
Attached are 2 files with diagnostic output from 2.6.27 and 2.6.28. Any
hints how to solve or debug this?
Regards,
Tino
