Good day!
My name is Kirill Rusinov. I want to draw your attention to one bugreport.

This message is a result of my failed attempt to email Greg K.H (only the email-bot has answered to me).

I've posted a bug report here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796626
This applies to problem with the brightness control on the laptop Samsung RV520.
It seems to me it deserves your attention.

Thanks for your work.

I don't understand what this pertains to the stable kernel releases, so
why email that list?

And as you have created a redhat bug, why not work with the redhat
developers on this?

Also, have you tried the latest 3.3-rc4 kernel, it should have solved
this problem.

Could you perhaps elaborate on that part a bit?  I don't see any mention of
RV420/520/720 support in samsung-laptop.c.  The last addition was for X520 and
that is already in the kernel being run in the bug report.

There were patches posted that take the need for individual device
support for the driver out, so it should work for _all_ samsung laptops
properly.  I thought they were in the 3.3-rc kernel, if not, go bug the
platform driver maintainer to get them in, as they were sent far before
the merge window deadline :)

thanks,

Some time ago I've sent you a letter asking to pay attention to my problem.
Greg KH has replied to me.
We talked with him and now I've realized that I did wrong.
Sorry for that.

Thanks.
