From 202d4e602555e68c2bc71775228876b0356785c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Purdie Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2007 17:43:52 +0000 Subject: backlight: Allow enable/disable of fb backlights, fixing regressions Enabling the backlight by default appears to cause problems for many users. This patch disables backlight controls unless explicitly enabled by users via a module parameter. Since PMAC users are known to work, default to enabled in that case.
