Comment 14 for bug 385723

Do xbacklight needs to have the nvidia driver in use to work ? is it communicating through the driver ?

I know from nvidia that they won't support backlight in the driver because the manufacturer are managing backlight differently...
(if it is another issue, do it has been reported somewhere by nvidia ?)

smartdimmer and nvclock are working even without having the driver installed. Could it be possible to change xbacklight the same way for the nvidia cards that are making problems ?
