I have a Sony laptop (PCG-R600HMP). With the release of FreeBSD 5.3 and a PXE installation I was able to finally run FreeBSD on that machine. So long everything seems to work nice for my everyday use. Only the brightness of my display is too dark. Under linux I was able to use spicctrl to control the brithgness (using the sonypi device). I read FreeBSD also supports with the spic driver and in coorparation with SJOG (sysutils/sjog) setting the brightness (or for most people). So I put the following in /boot/loader.conf: hint.spic.0.at="isa" hint.spic.0.port="0x10a0" Result: spic0: device model type = 2 spic0: <Sony Programmable I/O Controller> at port 0x10a0-0x10a4 on isa0 But SJOG doesn't seem to be happy with that: can't find spic PCI device The interal code (or the patches made by the port maintainer ) seem to be refer to a PCI device. Does somebody know more about that issue? (just code some isa calls/code or how I could manage this) Somebody who has a running spic device via isa? To set the brightness.... I asked that question also in the german bsd forum (maybe it's easier to understand than my english sentences here:) https://www.bsdforen.de/showthread.php?t=7701 Greetings, Robert! -- JID: gogo@jabber.cs.uni-sb.de
