Not off hand. Does the driver exposed backlight control work on your system? Backlight control in the r5xx days was mostly handled by platform specific ACPI methods or the standard ACPI backlight method under other OSes (depending on the OSI string). Alex
Michael, please keep the Cc: list intact.

Also, I don't see any of the debugging output added by the patch in dmesg-4.3.0-rc7-00003-g85051e2-dirty-2015-10-26-11-00-41-radeon-bl-debug. Are you sure that my patch was actually applied to the radeon driver when generating that file? Did you update the initrd with the patched radeon.ko? > [1] contains dmesg output without your patch for comparison (resulting in a permanent black screen as before in rc6) > > > [0] > dmesg-4.3.0-rc7-00003-g85051e2-dirty-2015-10-26-11-00-41-radeon-bl-debug > > [1] > dmesg-4.3.0-rc7-00003-g85051e2-2015-10-26-11-22-09 > >
