Note that the BIOS is tricky. Method (LBCM, 1, NotSerialized) { If (\_OSI ("Windows 2006")) { ... } } the method for backlight control only works on windows Vista. i.e. any previous windows releases don't use this method for backlight control. what if you boot with acpi_osi="!Windows 2006"? PS, in this case, both the proc and sys backlight I/F may not work for you. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list acpi-bugzilla@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
