------- Comment #12 from rui.zh...@intel.com  2008-12-18 17:50 -------
First of all, it seems we can not control the backlight via ACPI video unless
there is a BIOS fixup.

Second, the fujitsu driver can not catch the hotkey events, can it?
If it can, that's great,
if not, there is a acpi notifier chain which can sent out the hotkey event, can
this be used by the fujitsu driver?
I mean, in case the acpi video backlight interface doesn't work while the
platform driver works, we can:
1. disable the acpi backlight control function by "echo 0 >
/sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled"
2. platform register an acpi notifier
3. when hotkey pressed, platform driver get the notification and changes the
brightness.
