This is not an optimal solution but consider it a workaround for now. I've written a driver and tested it on my MBA 6,2 but the 6,1 should work as well. Use it at your own risk, I take no responsibility. Don't try to load this driver unless you have a MacBook Air (mid 2013) 6,1 or 6,2. To get it running you need to download and build the driver: # git clone <a href="https://github.com/patjak/mba6x_bl">https://github.com/patjak/mba6x_bl</a> # cd mba6x_bl/ && make && make install Make sure the module is loaded at boot time. E.g add "mba6x_bl" to /etc/modules You also need to configure i915 to hand over the backlight control to mba6x_bl. I added this to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "Backlight" "mba6x_backlight" EndSection Now reboot and you should have working brightness even after suspend/resume. Unloading the module (modprobe -r mba6x_bl) will restore the backlight to whatever state we had when loading it.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
