Hrm, then it's really hard to say how exactly the system behaves when
lbpc=0...  I guess we should avoid controlling LBPC in such a case,
e.g. something like the patch below (totally untested).

But Intel guys must know of this better... I leave this to their
hands.

acpi_osi quirk should be better added statically, then.


thanks,

Dropping Linus from the CC.

No, I guess the problem here is that acer_wmi doesn't support this
machine yet. I told the ACER WMI maintainer and sent a DSDT image,
but this message was thoroughly ignored.

Could you please attach DSDT on this mail or share your kernel bugzilla
number to us?

I found cann't access BKO now?


Thank's

Hm, but the backlight control is done via the standard ACPI, no?
If so, the fact that acer_wmi doesn't work sounds irrelevant.

BTW, did you try my previous patch?

I have no idea. If I were an expert, I would just have sent a
patch, not a bug report. And I prefer fixes to "quirks".  :-P



> BTW, did you try my previous patch?

Works. I hadn't tested it before, because you seemed to wait
for the opinion of some Intel people, and so did I. But thanks
for that code!

Yes, please try Takashi's previous patch. 

I am tracing bko#34142, but this issue does not related to your
backlight control, because there have _BCM, _BQC declare in your DSDT,
your machine MUST SUPPORTED by standard acpi backlight interface.

Even the acer-wmi can probed on your machine, it cann't help anything
for your backlight control.


Thank's a lot!
