Hi All,
FYI I've just added a patch with another set of acpi-video backlight quirks to the fedora kernel pkgs. This should be non controversial since upstream has agreed to maintain the quirk table for now, until it is certain that switch to using video.use_native_backlight=1 as default can be safely done.
There are 4 more patches which I would like to add to the kernel to fix various bigs, I've attached them here.
Here is the changelog from my (local) spec file modifications:
- Add a patch to fix the Synaptics Touch Pad V 103S found on some keyboard docks for win8 tablets - Add a patch to fix the elantech touchpad on Gigabyte U2442 laptops - Add a patch to fix backlight control on the Samsung NC210/NC110 (rhbz#861573) - Add a patch to fix backlight & wifi on the Asus EEE PC 1015PX (rhbz#1067181)
The first patch has been reviewed upstream (but not yet applied).
The second and third patch should be uncontroversial and get accepted upstream.
The fourth patch may turn out to be a bit controversial when someone upstream actually gets around to review it. But there seems to be no other way, and the user has been applying the same fix from the kernel cmdline for months now.
All of them have a Cc: stable
Regards,
Hans

I think those two were just Acked/applied this morning, so go for it.
- Add a patch to fix backlight control on the Samsung NC210/NC110 (rhbz#861573)
- Add a patch to fix backlight & wifi on the Asus EEE PC 1015PX (rhbz#1067181)
These two seem fine as well. We can keep an eye on the Asus one and remove/replace it if something else turns up.
Thanks for the heads up!

Ok, I've just pushed this to the f20 branch, I expect them to trickle down into the 3.15rc-s soon enough, and f19 can pick them up when f19 moves from 3.13 to 3.14 (the backlight quirk handling is significantly different in 3.13).

Thanks, F19 should rebase today, so as long as F20 has it, F19 should get it.
