ACPI backlight is the default on most pre-Windows 8 i915 systems. Userspace which assumes that backlight value 0 has any specific meaning is broken userspace. Adding an additional interface that allows disabling the backlight without powering down the panel seems like a completely reasonable thing to do, though. -- Matthew Garrett <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
