Description Vladimir Perepechin 2014-11-17 04:55:59 UTC

I'm affected by this bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84561

Comment 1 Takashi Iwai 2014-11-17 06:47:49 UTC

Could you check whether the boot option "video.use_native_backlight=0" makes it working, as suggested in bugzilla kernel.org?

In anyway, please attach hwinfo output to this Bugzilla, too.

laptop: samsung np510r5e

Yep, after setting video.use_native_backlight=0 i'm able to controll brightness.
But when setting it to minimum sceen is still on.

Now:

ls -l /sys/class/backlight/
итого 0

Comment 6 Takashi Iwai 2014-11-17 14:15:21 UTC

Thanks.  Then could you rather put yourself into kernel.org bugzilla entry?  Once when the fix patch is merged to upstream, we can backport to SUSE kernels.

Comment 7 Vladimir Perepechin 2014-11-17 14:39:03 UTC

I'm already there :)

Comment 8 Takashi Iwai 2014-11-17 14:47:24 UTC

Ah OK :)  Then let's wait for the upstream resolution...

Comment 9 Vladimir Perepechin 2014-12-22 07:23:55 UTC

Upstream patch is ready :)

Comment 10 Takashi Iwai 2015-01-05 14:12:13 UTC

OK, I backported the patch to openSUSE-13.2 git branch now.  It'll be included in the next update kernel, or you can try KOTD (OBS Kernel:openSUSE-13.2 repo).
