I have been following this issue because I have not been able to use my
laptop since April when 10.10 expired.
If I try to install 11.10 on my e-machine now, will I have a backlight? I
have no clue as to how to do the work-a-rounds.
Thanks.

Afternoon,
I have been following this issue because I have not been able to use my
laptop since April when 10.10 expired.
If I try to install 11.10 on my e-machine now, will I have a backlight? I
have no clue as to how to do the work-a-rounds.
Thanks.
