On HP 1000 lapops, BIOS reports minimum backlight on boot and
causes backlight to dim completely. This ignores the initial backlight
values and set to max brightness.

Queued up for a post-3.10-rc1 push as 3.10 material.

Thanks,

I've checked the acpi dump from the bug page, it should be the same
firmware problem which the following patch is meant to solve:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-acpi/msg47212.html

commit 2c62333a408f5badd2d2ffd7177f95deeccc5ca4
Author: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com>
Date:   Wed Nov 6 09:07:10 2013 +0800

    ACPI / video: Quirk initial backlight level 0

Possible to give it a test? It's in Rafael's linux-next branch:
http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git

If confirmed, we can save an entry in the DMI table.

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi,

It works as expected.

Thanks for the confirm!

Now I look at the DMI table for initial backlight broken systems, in
addition to the "HP Pavilion m4" and "HP 1000 Notebook PC", the following
systems are also candidates for removal:
HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC - bug 56661
HP Pavilion dm4 - no bug entry
Fujitsu E753 - bug 60161
HP Folio 13-2000 - bug 51141

I've checked the acpidump of all the above laptops except HP dm4, which
doesn't have a bug page, they all have the same problem we are
talking about here. The HP dm4 is very suspicious according to its
corresponding commit message and its brand.

I've asked in the individual bug page for test, once confirmed, I'll
remove them all.

Hi Gustavo,
Can you please test this? I've prepared a branch for you:
https://github.com/aaronlu/linux acpi_video_dmi
It is based on Rafael's linux-next branch, with only one patch
on top: remove all the above systems from the DMI table.

Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron, thanks for setting the branch up. However, I will only be able to
test it over the weekend. 

For completeness my instance of the bug was (wrongly) tracked here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43577

Abraços,
Gustavo

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, there isn't acpidump either.
Please attach the dump there when you have time, thanks.

Tested and it works perfectly, no brightness regressions observed.

Thanks a lot for the test and info, I'll add your tested-by tag for that
patch if you don't mind.
