Christopher: Please carefully read the upstream bug that Gabriel has referenced, it includes a fix that he references in #10
I don't see how this bug with a specified upstream fix is an 'unhelpful "catch all"', given it's got an upstream fix I'd say it's pretty close to triaged if Gabriel confirms that the upstream which includes this patch now fixes the problem. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241871 Title: 13.10 kernels (3.11.x) Fail to light up certain intel backlights Status in The Linux Kernel: Unknown Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Bug has been ongoing since 3.10-rc6 Certain UEFI laptops incorrectly report their BPP on their display, causing kernel modesetting to fail Full details see: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59841 Developers have refused to quirk the regression, causing no display on a a large number of systems.
