Thanks for the info. Setting GMA600=y works, as in, it results
in graphical mode on tty1.
However, the gma600 driver seems to default to a backlight value of
"0" in Linux 3.4.1; getting a dark screen after loading gma500_gfx.ko
is rather unexpected.
Furthermore, there are four entries in sysfs, and the one required to
change the panel brightness is acpi_video2 (and this one alone).
Changing any others, e.g. acpi_video0/brightness, does not have any
visible effect.
