Package: linux-2.6
Severity: normal

There seems to be a problem with controlling the backlight on a number of Samsung laptops. A driver to solve this is available here:

http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/63209/

---help---
This driver adds support to control the backlight on a number of
Samsung laptops, like the N130, and control for some of the LEDs

In the mean time the Samsung Laptop driver has been merged from
the staging tree into the regular kernel tree. The module is
available in the kernel from Debian 7.0 (Wheezy).

If there are further problems, please file a new bug against
src:linux
