How does he control the backlight? I just want to say that the backlight can not be controlled via ACPI because ACPI just offers the backlight control methods for the integrated graphics card, which is not available on your laptop. but anyway it works occasionally, so you can still try the custom DSDT in comment #15. Native graphics driver controls the backlight in some cases, especially for the nvidia graphics cards. If the custom DSDT in comment #15 doesn't work for you, I suggest you to open a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org to see if the nvidia experts there can help. Because there is little that we ACPI guys can help here. :( BTW: I remember that there was once a tool named smartdimmer which can be used for brightness switching for nvidia graphics. -- 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.
