Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.29-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

The attached patch maps the brightness control events to one of two keys,
either KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN or KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP, as needed.

Some mapping has to be done due to the fact that the BIOS reports them as
<base value> + <current brightness index>; the selection is done according to
the sign of the change in brightness (if this is 0, no keypress is reported).

This was prompted by the following posting to debian-eeepc-devel:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-eeepc-devel/2009-April/002001.html
and has been sent upstream:
http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/16215/
