>From : Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@xxxxxxxxx> According to acpi spec , the objectes of _BCL and _BCM are required if integrated LCD is present and supports brightness level and the _BQC is the optional object. So the _BQC object will be ignored when the backlight device is registered. At the same time when there is no _BQC object, the current brightness will be set to the maximum. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10206 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/acpi/video.c | 14 ++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Index: linux-2.6/drivers/acpi/video.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/drivers/acpi/video.c +++ linux-2.6/drivers/acpi/video.c @@ -741,7 +741,7 @@ static void acpi_video_device_find_cap(s max_level = acpi_video_init_brightness(device); - if (device->cap._BCL && device->cap._BCM && device->cap._BQC && max_level > 0){ + if (device->cap._BCL && device->cap._BCM && max_level > 0) { int result; static int count = 0; char *name; @@ -753,7 +753,17 @@ static void acpi_video_device_find_cap(s device->backlight = backlight_device_register(name, NULL, device, &acpi_backlight_ops); device->backlight->props.max_brightness = device->brightness->count-3; - device->backlight->props.brightness = acpi_video_get_brightness(device->backlight); + /* + * If there exists the _BQC object, the _BQC object will be + * called to get the current backlight brightness.
