[RFC PATCH 0/5] ACPI video: cleanups and fixes for the recent buggy _BQC/_BCL/_BCM BIOSes

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

 



Hi, all,

here is the patch set I made recently, including some cleanups and fixes
for the Thinkpad/Asus laptops with buggy _BQC/_BCL/_BCM implementation.

The first two patches checks if ACPI video driver fails to set/get the
current brightness level, which is not done before.

patch 3/4/5 are used to fix three different problems.

1. the brightness levels when machine is on AC/Battery are not exported
   by _BCL.
2. The supported brightness levels are reversed in the _BCL method.
3. Index values are used in _BQC/_BCL/_BCM method.

The patches have not been tested yet.
I send them here to see if someone has better ideas about these issues.
Any comments are welcome. :)

thanks,
rui
