Re: i810, mergedfb and lid switch and acpi video

I've also seen that windows vista document... perhaps it's a
requirement to pass vista certification to have the _BCQ method.
In addition when I compile the dsdt with iasl it complains about _BCQ
as unknown............ Microsoft decided to change that name and hp
followed them?
Yesterday I've seen that there is a new bios for my machine, version
F0A. Does anyone experimented with it? I will try it on the weekend...
For now I'll try to change the DSDT file, I use the patch to replace
DSDT on linux and I'll report if it works.

Regarding the lid switch, is there something I could try?

Bye

Brightness).

I can ACK that my HP had a similar typo / feature with its intel based
video:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile
945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

The _BQC is absent, but a strange _BCQ is there - which looks to give
the correct functionality.

The ONLY place I can find any reference to _BCQ is in a couple of
Windows Vista design documents about making display brightness work with
Vista.

Thank you Microsoft, for that typo - presuming thats what it is!
