Red Hat's own Matthew Garrett posted the patch series[1], but I've not seen it applied in any publicly-available Git tree (do point me to one, if anyone knows) apart from Canonical employee Kamal Mostafa's linux-kamal-mjgbacklight[2] Would it be possible, during the test day, to find out how many people are affected by this (e.g. by adding backlight control to the list of things to check)? If there are many out there -- including my Vaio Y -- we might want to consider providing a semi-blessed repo with a patched kernel. PS does mjg have a public kernel git tree? I could not find one. 1. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.acpi.devel/48990 2. https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/linux-kamal-mjgbacklight Thanks, -- Michel Alexandre Salim Fedora Project Contributor: http://fedoraproject.org/ Email: salimma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | GPG key ID: 78884778 Jabber: hircus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | IRC: hircus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
