[arch-general] xf86-video-ati, xbrightness and KMS bug
Hi guys. I've switched to xf86-video-ati from fgrlx and have some troubles with changing brightness level. xbrightness tells me: "No outputs have backlight property". With fgrlx it worked like a charm. If anyone have a solution - it will be great. P.S. My keyboard dead now, so i have to use discrete, and have no FN buttons. I have asus x61s. Video: Ati Radeon HD4570 and enabled KMS. Without KMS X won't start. Kernel: 2.6.37-5 Driver: 6.14.0-1 xorg.conf.d file: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/338214/ -- With best wishes or hundreds of hate.

Look in /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0, you should be able to change brightness by echoing a value to 'brightness'

That's how it's supposed to be, afaik the drivers don't support UMS anymore. -- Mauro Santos
