Subject: [Pommed-devel] pommed + nvidia_bl
Message-ID: <4AC49698.9000707@depeca.uah.es>

Hi all,

I'm using pommed 1.28 from source in a Macbook pro 5,5 under debian 
lenny + kernel from squeeze.

I have not been able to make pommed work with the nvidia_bl module from 
the ubuntu mactel PPA, because pommed does not support it. mbp_nvidia_bl 
driver does not work for me. Just in case someone is interested, the 
following patch for sysfs_backlight.c adds support for nvidia_bl.

Kind regards,

The sysfs layout has changed, yay.

Thanks for the patch, I'll apply it.
