It's been on every X and T I have run into since IBM stopped using a proprietary Windows tool to touch BIOS configuration instead of the normal F1 at boot time. I found it there on my T520, one generation older than the X230, I believe. If I recall correctly, "acpi_call -p '\VBRC' -i 7" sets the brightness. You can load the modules by entering them in /boot/loader.conf, e.g. "acpi_ibm_load="YES"". The acpi_call can be added to init, but is probably not essential any more as brightness now works in head and the patch works fine on 10. You will need to patch the system, but then the brightness buttons as well as the hw.acpi.video.lcd0 values to set brightness on battery and AC. The patches are to /usr/src/dev/drm2/i915/ Look for the patches in /usr/src/sys/dev/drm2/i915/intel_opregion.c, i915_drv.h, and i915_irq.c and were committed to head in r270516. The author (adrian@) has declined to MFC, but has stated that someone else can. I'm hoping someone will. -- Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com
