--- Comment #3 from Felix Möller
Christopher, backlight brightness is not handled by the operating system. It should work even with no OS running. With the 2.1.0 BIOS it is not working anymore in Linux (don't know why), maybe just in the bootloader (worked for me in GRUB). The solution is to downgrade your bios to the 1.7.0 version.
According to the above your BIOS version might be of interest. But just wait a little for the suse-experts they probably know better what to try. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
