Do you still > see issue. If so, please spesify clearly what is impact to you. Hi Jani, Yes I still have the issue. The minimum brightness available on my display simply hurt my eyes and without this patch I cant use my laptop. Even if you say that its going to damage the hardware, I would still insist, because I'd rather have my hardware fail first, than my eyes. I need a way to force at the brightness to go down at least 10% of the max brightness. My safe level is 'echo 100 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness' which works only if I have the attached patch that allows to override the min brightness value from VBT. I use the value "-1" for the min_brightness module parameter. Please see the attached patch.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
