I would like to see this work, but I would need to see it tested on a bunch of machines before I trust it. I guess you now have the acpi video backlight check, which is good, but again, doesn't work for all devices. And yeah, a whitelist is tough, especially as the vendor isn't working with us at all, but I don't want to break machines that don't need this driver (and there are some, although I thought the newest ones would not need it, but that might be true.) Hm, if you can figure out how to get the acpi-video thing working for some machines properly, I'll support this kind of change. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
