Is it working for anyone else? my keyboard does automatically turn on the backlight depending on the surrounding lights. I cannot manually control it, but also I never tried to configure to configure this. > No backlight appears and powerprefs > still shows those areas as greyed out. > I am running a 2.6.11.10 kernel, with a config that matches > most of what others on the list had shared with me. > Any input would be appreciated. To get backlight at all, I had to enable a few i2c options in the kernel config, especially the keywest. I suggest to look for them, in the end I had CONFIG_I2C_KEYWEST=y set and got a backlight with 2.6.12-rc3 and some of Ben's patches. Bernhard
