Dear all,
(cc:ing Mattia and Marco since they seem to be actively working on
sony-laptop.ko)
I have a Sony Vaio VPCY2 with a backlight control problem -- both with
acpi_backlight=video and acpi_backlight=vendor.
With the former, setting the backlight (with Fn-F5/6) gave the
appearance, as far as
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/{actual_,}brightness is concerned, that
the change took place, however, the screen brightness remained
unchanged. Even setpci-ing the hardware register does not make a difference.
Kernel bug report here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38342
Fedora bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689962
Is the Vaio Y's backlight supposed to be controlled by sony-laptop
instead of by video.ko? Right now with sony-laptop, actual_brightness
always reads -1 no matter what value is written to brightness.
If there's any information not currently attached to those bug reports
that is needed, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
--
