I noticed that it correctly detects the max and min values for my laptop and video card. I was wondering if the nouveau code could somehow benefit from the work done by the nvidiabl author. The code is present here - https://github.com/guillaumezin/nvidiabl The corresponding thread is here -- http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=143025 and I think some relevant updates/changes for my laptop model (VPCCW2) are here - http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=143025&page=8
