[Bug 226894] Re: Backlight control does not work on MacBook Pro 3.1

[Colin D Bennett]

I have a MacBook Pro 5,1 and my LCD backlight stopped working in Karmic
after some package update a couple months ago.  The Fn keys work but as
the notification bubble brightness bar changes, the LCD backlight
brightness does not change (it's fixed at the maximum level).

I inserted the mbp_nvidia_bl kernel module and voila! I can echo N to
/sys/class/backlight/mbp_backlight/brightness to now adjust it.
However, the Fn keys have no effect.
