[PATCH] ACPI: Add DMI quirk for GIGABYTE GB-BXBT-2807

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

 



From: "Jasper St. Pierre" <jstpierre@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The GIGABYTE GB-BXBT-2807 is a mini-PC which uses off the shelf
components, like an Intel GPU which is meant for mobile systems.
As such, it, by default, has a backlight controller exposed.

Unfortunately, the backlight controller only confuses userspace, which
sees the existence of a backlight device node and has the unrealistic
belief that there is actually a backlight there!

Add a DMI quirk to force the backlight off on this system.
