A BIG thank you to all involved, especially Kamal for the tremendous efforts on this!

After one year owning that Dell Studio 1558 I finally can use linux! Freedom!
It works with "acpi_backlight=vendor dell_laptop.backlight=0".
I hated it before because it was burning my eyes with backlight to the max.

For the record, my laptop configuration is:
Intel Core i5
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)
Full HD display

I could not manage to get the kernel 2.x.x patched and recompiled... It was way easier in the old Slackware days.
Or it is just me getting old...
Anyways, I can't explain how glad I am to see kernel 3 supports the nasty Dell acpi!

Thank you again!
