Blanking - Anything else I can provide to help diagnose this problem?<br></blockquote><br><div>Hitting this sysfs file doesn't blank for me either. So this is a reproducible bug. As you point out, it's wierd that all looks well to sw -- the whole path down to the driver and out to usb is called - and it's all successful. Probably/hopefully some small problem we'll catch at some point.<br>
<br>There was a question earlier about bug tracking. At least for things which would apply to udlfb as it exists in the kernel staging tree, the proper place I'd guess is <a href="http://bugzilla.kernel.org/">http://bugzilla.kernel.org/</a> with Product=Drivers and Component=Staging<br>
<br>For bugs which only repro with the bleeding edge at <a href="http://git.plugable.com">git.plugable.com</a> (and have not yet made it to patch stage), email to this list is still the easiest way to handle.<br> <br></div>

One last question and I'm not sure if its even supported on these<br>
displaylink devices, but can we implement software backlight control? If<br>
someone knows the command/registers, I'm more than willing to have a stab<br>
at implementing it (my first venture into Kernel Programming though...)<br></blockquote><div><br>I don't know if/how this is exposed, so not a help here either. I guess there's enough worries about getting things turned on properly, that turning things down or off is not yet on the radar... <br>
