2011-12-02 20:21:36 Seth Forshee description When attempting to change the backlight level on this machine to anything other than the maximum or minimum brightness, the backlight level will continue to change in the direction of the adjustment until it reaches the maximum or minimum brightness. There are patches to fix this issue in kernel version 3.2.

The ACPI backlight interface doesn't work at all. The samsung-laptop driver sort of works, but the backlight can only be set to brightness levels 0, 1, and 8. Fix: Upstream cherry pick to quirk brightness adjustments for these models. Test Case: I've verified this personally on the NF310. Also verified to help on the N220P on LP #810093, although an additional patch is required to fully fix the issues on that machine. --- When attempting to change the backlight level on this machine to anything other than the maximum or minimum brightness, the backlight level will continue to change in the direction of the adjustment until it reaches the maximum or minimum brightness.
