[PATCH] ACPI: ibm-acpi: improve backlight power handling

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Improve the backlight code to emulate as much as possible the power
management events, as we are unable to really power on or power off the
backlight.

 for when you pull it.
