Hi,
Sorry for the delay.
Can you tell me the output of these two commands in KDL:
{{{
ie_reg 0x61250
ie_reg 0x61254
}}}
These are the two registers that control the backlight for intel video
cards. But on some machines, the manufacturer decided to not use this and
connect the backlight control elsewhere. In that case, our attempts to
change the brightness using this method will not work, of course. We have
to find the correct way for that machine, then. Possibly ACPI could offer
a better way to do this.
