Hope it's useful. Well, I am surprised. You have an Intel embedded GPU, and the R50e would be the very first ThinkPad I've ever heard about that does EC control of backlight brightness with Intel Graphics. I will have to ask you to do some extra testing, to make sure there is nothing in userspace falsifying your test results. Please go to single user text mode, and stop udev. At that point, you should have only kernel threads, init, su/sulogin/bash running, which you can verify using "ps auxwww". unload and reload thinkpad-acpi with the various brightness_mode possibilites, and check if you can correctly read and set display brightness through /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness. Does that test confirm that modes 1 and 3 work on the R50e, and mode 2 does not work on the R50e ? > > Also, while we're at it, I'd appreciate if you could send me by private > > email the full output of acpidump, and the output of dmidecode (please mask > > out any serial numbers and UUIDs). > > No problem.

Thank you for the data dump. The two acpidumps show that you did a BIOS update, from version 2.00 to 2.10, you probably forgot that detail :-) > > If you feel it would be useful to have the read-only parameters displayed > > there, I can update the module to have them show up. > > Well, it would have been convenient yesterday, but in the end I found > what I was after in dmesg (current brightness_mode). But I guess Ok, it is easy to fix this. It will be in the next batch of low-urgency changes. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
