[Bug 831790] New: RF kill switch and LCD backlight don't work on HP EliteBook 8470p
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=831790 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=831790#c0 Summary: RF kill switch and LCD backlight don't work on HP EliteBook 8470p Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: adrien.clerc@gls-france.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 With an out of the box installation of openSuse 12.3, the kill switch for WiFi and LCD backlight don't work. According to http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1421265 The ACPI table is wrong (once again). Adding acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" on kernel command line solved the issue. Incidentally, the Bootloader YaST configuration fails to update with this parameter, I had to add it manually.

OK… Is there any procedure to make it work? Beg HP? Ask ACPI subsystem maintainers? Obviously, the backlight buttons are not that important, but the RF kill switch is.
For the rfkill key, sometimes it's relate to the wifi driver. The wifi driver may need check a gpio pin to change the RF state. -- 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.
