Hi Yong,

You can check how eeepc-laptop work for backlight stuff.
I think you should also remove all the NOTIFY_BRNDOWN_* code. It's
still in eeepc-laptop for backward compatibility, but it should not be
i newer drivers.

Anyway, most of the time the backlight will be handled by the
acpi/video.ko driver which will
send events itself.

Thanks for the info. I will take a look.

I will update this page soon
http://dev.iksaif.net/projects/acpi4asus/wiki/Eeepc-wmi .

Yeah, I actually passed by this wiki page last week and I read the "how
to help" section. I cannot donate hardware so I wrote the driver;-)

Do you want this driver to be part of acpi4asus project ? It would
allow to share the same git tree / bugtracker / wiki. I can give you
access to all that stuff quickly. I think it would be easier for users
if we merge into one single project.

I have no problem. What is the relationship between acpi4asus and
platform x86 drivers? Will Matthew merge your tree?

Thanks
