I backported to TW kernel and Leap 15.6 kernel now.
Let's keep this entry opened until it's properly merged to the upstream tree, though.
on current openSUSE TW 20240531-2933.1 it seems to have merged into kernel 6.9.3 (lspci) 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C79 [GeForce 9400M] (rev b1) ls -la /sys/class/backlight/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jun 5 18:12 . drwxr-xr-x 71 root root 0 Jun 5 18:12 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jun 5 17:41 nv_backlight -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/0000:02:00.0/drm/card0/card0-LVDS-1/nv_backlight -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
