| Hi All, Toshiba laptop (http://scatter.mine.nu/test/boxen/tosh/) CLI only with vesafb 800x600. On 2.4 series kernel LCD backlight is turned off when console blanks. Same setup with 2.6.11.11 or 2.6.12-rc6 the console turns off but LCD backlight left running. I tend to use the thing over ssh link at home, so the lit-up but dead screen somewhat odd looking... Any pointers for this? Is it user-space utility? The 2.6 kernel LCD controls don't seem to do much, but I'm being lazy and hope someone been there... Otherwise I'll have to RTFM, STFW and GAFC No udev, hotplug running and properly starts cardbus NIC, all else seems okay. Page above has more info on config, dmesg, lspci & so. Thanks, --Grant. |
