Hi All,
I've a bunch of backlight handling fixes which for various reasons did not
make it upstream for 3.15, which I would like to carry in the Fedora kernel
package for now.
[PATCH 01/14] thinkpad_acpi: Add mappings for F9 - F12 hotkeys on
-Not a backlight fix, but a simple input fix, fixing some keys not working on
the latest thinkpads. Reviewed and acked upstream, waiting on the upstream
drivers/platform/x86 maintainer.
[PATCH 02/14] samsung-laptop: Add broken-acpi-video quirk for
-https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=861573
-Not send upstream yet, waiting for the reporter to get back to me that it
actually fixes things, already in the Fedora 3.14 kernels
[PATCH 03/14] ideapad-laptop: Blacklist rfkill control on the Lenovo
-Created and tested myself on a laptop of a friend
-Waiting on the upstream drivers/platform/x86 maintainer
[PATCH 04/14] asus-wmi: Add a no backlight quirk
[PATCH 05/14] eeepc-wmi: Add no backlight quirk for Asus H87I-PLUS
-https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1097436
-Waiting on the upstream drivers/platform/x86 maintainer
[PATCH 06/14] acpi-video: Don't register acpi_video_resume notifier
[PATCH 07/14] acpi-video: Add an acpi_video_unregister_backlight
[PATCH 08/14] acer-wmi: Switch to acpi_video_unregister_backlight
[PATCH 09/14] acer-wmi: Add Aspire 5741 to video_vendor_dmi_table
-https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35622
-https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1012674
-Queued upstream for addition to 3.16, likely fixes a bunch of other Acer
models too
[PATCH 10/14] nouveau: Don't check acpi_video_backlight_support()
[PATCH 11/14] backlight: Add backlight device (un)registration
[PATCH 12/14] acpi-video: Unregister the backlight device if a raw device shows up
[PATCH 13/14] acpi-video: Add use native backlight quirk for the ThinkPad W530
-https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1093171
-Slightly adventurous, but only comes into play when using
video.use_native_backlight=1 on the commandline, or for models which do so
by a dmi quirk
-Likely this set + video.use_native_backlight=1 will be needed on a whole
bunch of recent laptops with nvidia or ati gfx. Already got confirmation on
the upstream list that this is also needed for some ati equipped laptops too.
-Queued upstream for addition to 3.16
[PATCH 14/14] acpi-video: Add use_native_backlight quirk for HP ProBook 4540s
-https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1025690
-Want to add to Fedora kernels and ask the user to test before sending upstream
-Nothing special really, just another laptop needing video.use_native_backlight=1
Please let me know if there are any objections against me adding this set
the Fedora 3.15 kernel pkg. If you don't object an ack would be nice too :)
If no objections are received I'llbe adding this set to the Fedora kernels
in a day or two.
Regards,
Hans
