Bug#710938: Packard Bell EasyNote LV need i915.invert_brightness on Linux
found 710938 3.9.5-1
tags 710938 + patch
thanks
I had a closer look at the source, and the output from lspci:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0156] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

If I understand the source correctly, this is the patch relative to
the Debian linux package 3.9.5-1 needed to avoid the black screen on
the Packard Bell EasyNote LV:

static void intel_init_quirks(struct drm_device *dev)
I am a bit unsure about the first number, but concluded after reading
the source that this is pci_dev->device for the card in question, ie
the number after 8086 in the lspci output above.
Please include it in a future version, and it would be great if it
could be applied to Wheezy too.
