2008-07-18ACPI: Ignore _BQC object when registering backlight deviceZhao Yakui
According to acpi spec , the objectes of _BCL and _BCM are required if integrated LCD is present and supports brightness level and the _BQC is the optional object. So the _BQC object will be ignored when the backlight device is registered. At the same time when there is no _BQC object, the current brightness will be set to the maximum. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10206 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

2007-09-18ACPI: video: _DOS=0 by default to prevent hotkey hangZhang Rui
In the past, the Linux/ACPI video driver invoked _DOS (Display Output Switch) with the parameter 1 to tell the BIOS to switch the video output display for us. But this conflicts with Linux native graphics drivers, and can cause all sorts of issues, including hanging the system. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6001 Here we change the Linux default to evaluate _DOS=0, which tells the BIOS to simply send us a hotkey event and not touch the graphics hardware. The acpi video driver sends the display switch hotkey event up through the intput layer, and X can interpret that and use its native graphics driver to switch the display. For the case where Linux has no native graphics driver running, or the graphics driver doesn't know how to switch video and the BIOS (safely) does, the previous behaviour can be restored with: # echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/*/DOS Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2007-08-25ACPI: work around duplicate name "VID" problem on T61Zhang Rui
This can only fix the problem that more than one video bus device have the same AML name "VID". ie. the proc I/F for the second "VID" video bus device is located under /proc/acpi/video/VID1/... As this is really rare and the ACPI proc I/F is a legacy feature that we are planning to remove. We won't provide a generic solution for this problem.
