Nouveau - Jul 2009 - backlight support

Hi there,

A lot of people are experiencing problems with backlight support. It seems 
that they won't be any solution in near future, so I wanted to ask if
nouveau
is going to support the backlight management, and when ?

thx

There is some support for laptop backlight control.

(http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_backlight.c)

If you have older hw, then you may need to figure out how to control it.

I see only a few bug reports related to backlights, so a lot of people
seems like an overstatement.
