+Cc Hans who ins involved with the backlight subsystem Hi Julius, today I stumbled upon a mail from Hans [0], which explains that the backlight subsystem is not actually a good fit (yet?) for external displays. It seems a new API is in the works that would better fit, but I'm not sure about the state of this API. Maybe Hans can clarify. This also ties back to my review question how userspace can figure out to which display a backlight devices applies. So far it can not.
