Comment 59 for bug 397617

Sorry for asking, but I have added myself to CC to follow the progress of fixing intel driver with KMS that does not handle backlight as it was before KMS. I did not report any debug because I have the same samsung nc10 as the original reporter. Somehow this bug has passed to ATI, keycodes etc.

Is this still a relevant issue:

On the driver side, we just need to hook up support for sysfs backlight in the
KMS code. We don't want to do any direct register access though... If
platforms are missing backlight support we should add new sysfs backlight
support for them in the kernel. The i915 driver probably needs to get new code
here to support i2c based backlight control on pre-opregion platforms. The VBT
has info about where the backlight controller is and what commands to issue.

thank you
