Re: backlight/frontlight

quoted

What's required actually, is someone who's willing to pick that 
implementation (or another one, whatever is best) and lead maintainership 
for that code by gathering other's contribution.  Then, when the 
generic interface 
is suitable for most devices out there then it can be submited for 
inclusion with the -rmk patch, and/or James Simons' frame buffer rework in 
2.5.

It'd definitely be best to involve James Simmons in this - he's the
maintainer for fbcon, and, since the drivers are in framebuffer display
land, it seems only sensible.

Hi!

     I would like to see this as well. At present the core api is 
finished. Of course it is possible to add other stuff as long as it 
doesn't require us changing a bunch of drivers that wouldn't support it.
