reassign 569892 linux-2.6 retitle 569892 [drm/i915] doesn't fall back to native backlight method without a platform driver kthxbye On Sun, Feb 14, 2010 at 20:28:30 +0100, Robert Joop wrote: > xbacklight has stopped working after some sid upgrade a couple of weeks ago. > > (I've read about a seemingly similar issue in #563277 and just sat back and waited in the hope that the problem would just be intermediate and would get fixed when all parties involved adjusted to some name change, but it didn't happen...) Not xbacklight's fault. xserver-xorg-video-intel used to offer a few methods for changing the backlight, defaulting to platform drivers providing /sys/class/backlight/*. With KMS the i915 driver should probably provide a fallback if there's no platform driver for backlight. Cheers, Julien
