Hi all, I'm new to list and have a question concerning the support of laptop devices (if it is technically possible to control a laptop via ddccontrol at all): Sony's (PCG-VGN-)S3XP (Pentium-M, 13.3" xblack-display, NVIDIA Geforce Go 6200 TC) uses the NVIDIA-driver to set the brightness under windows, yet under Linux, the common drivers (sonypi, sony_acpi) have no effect on the brightness-settings. Today I've received a mail from a person, who stated, the LCD-brightness was controlled by DDCCI (instead of ACPI, which most people expected), so at least the problem seems to be identified. Still, I have no clue how to get ddccontrol to detect any hardware, this is the output I get (with/without rivafb-module): http://server1.nordic-it.de/~viper/output_ddccontrol_norivafb http://server1.nordic-it.de/~viper/output_ddccontrol_rivafb Software employed on the machine is Gentoo Linux, kernel 2.6.11 (vanilla; i2c ist present, rivafb has ddcci-support enabled), NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7664, Xorg 6.8.2 (Option "Allow DDCCI" is set to true), ddccontrol 0.1.2 (not cvs). Additional info on the system: http://server1.nordic-it.de/~viper/linux2611-vipnet-vaio (.config) http://server1.nordic-it.de/~viper/bios.dsl (dissambled acpi-bios) http://server1.nordic-it.de/~viper/output_lspci http://server1.nordic-it.de/~viper/output_lsmod Thanks in advance and best regards -chris PS: Sry, if the mail contains traces of html, I'm not sure, whether Evolution replaced weblinks with html-code. |
