From 87cc537a54fc017d998cf603f5fab9ca4a85d668 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 18:02:07 -0200 Subject: ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add brightness_force parameter Add a "brightness_enable" module parameter that allows the local admin to force the backlight support to not be enabled. It can also be used to force the backlight support to be enabled, but that is currently a no-op as the backlight support is enabled by default when available. This will be changed by a different patch.
