Re: [PATCH 5/9] fujitsu-laptop: fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality

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

 



Hi there,

on the S6410 this prevents brightness control from working correctly. 
the ACPI BIOS provides non-functional _BCM/_BQC so the video.ko is
registering backlight functions but does not work. Unfortunately not
loading video.ko isn't a solution since with
bc45b1d39a925b56796bebf8a397a0491489d85c the brightness keys are only
reported through video.ko.
