Subject: i915/kms/backlight-combo mode problem (was: Re: Linux 2.6.39-rc5)
Hi,
I have the problem described in the thread here
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/29/217) where the backlight
values are reversed so although stuff is displayed on the screen, the
backlight is off. This occurs with kernels from about 2.6.39 onwards.
After booting a "broken" kernel (>~2.6.39), the backlight can be lit
temporarily with:
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=0
and then turned off with:
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=FF
Yesterday I tried this patch, https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/30/37 by
manually applying it to the 3.2.1
kernel source - this fixes the problem.
** Unfortunately the LKML thread stops after this patch and given that
the problem is still present in the latest source, this code wasn't
pushed into the kernel. Is there a reason for this or was it just
forgotten about? What can I do about this? I am happy to make a git
patch with the latest source if this will help.
If it is relevant, the backlight brightness controls (Fn-left, Fn-right)
have never worked on any kernel
version, although they are picked up by acpi_listen.
The machine is a Packard Bell XS butterfly laptop, 11.6", 1.3GHz celeron
743, 2gb ram, etc.
As per the posting guidelines, here is loads of info about it:
