[PATCH v2 1/2] asus-wmi: Disable acpi-video backlight on desktop machines

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

 



Some Asus motherboards for desktop PC-s export an acpi-video interface
advertising backlight support. Test the dmi chassis-type and tell acpi-video
to not register a backlight interface on desktops.
