Laptop testing: Backlight test needed

[Joseph Areeda]

James,

How did you modify grub for backlighting?  Is there a thread or a wiki 
page on how to do it?

I never did get it to work on my Thinkpad 510 with Lucid or Maverick.

Until I get better dependability on my desktop, I can't risk my laptop.
