My gut feeling is that the > culprit could be rather some change in nouveau (so dri-devel is > Cc'ed), but I'm not entirely sure... As I already told the reporter, who first contacted me by private email about this, all the drivers/acpi/video_detect.c changes which may influence this are also present in 6.1.y (IIRC >= 6.1.5) . So since this is being reported as only happening with 6.2.y I don't think the recent backlight detect rework is involved. And even if the recent backlight detect rework were involved, specifying acpi_backlight=native on the kernel commandline (as the reporter was doing before) should still work since it overrides all other backlight detection. So yes this seems to be a nouveau bug and should probably be reported following the instructions from: https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/Bugs.html (which I havealso told the reporter already).
