While for the SZ it's actually a bit odd the fact that the brightness keys are working while the volume/mute are not. I expect it is supported through ACPI video driver and BCL/BCM/BQC ACPI video brightness functions though the ACPI "video" module?
My patches to exclude brightness switching between vendor specific and ACPI video driver have not been picked up by Len yet, AFAIK? IMO vendor specific modules like sony_acpi, thinkpad_acpi, asus_acpi, etc. should take their hands of brightness switching functions if the ACPI BIOS parts provide BCL/BCM/BQC functions... Hmm, I should repost them.
I'm told that the old sony_acpi worked I thought sony_acpi is the new one and sonypi the old one?!? Ahh you told me that on longterm everything should get merged (or splitted IIRC), could you give me a short update about that, pls.
Maximillian, Jonas: Can you provide Mattia with the requested info pls. You can add a line like that to /etc/modprobe.conf: options sony_acpi debug=1 so that the option is always passed when sony_acpi is loaded and attach dmesg output to this bug, pls. -- 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.
