Comment 16 for bug 551668

For a while, I've been using the nvidiabl drive for brightness control. I noticed that it correctly detects the max and min values for my laptop and video card. I was wondering if the nouveau code could somehow benefit from the work done by the nvidiabl author. The code is present here - https://github.com/guillaumezin/nvidiabl

The corresponding thread is here -- http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=143025 and I think some relevant updates/changes for my laptop model (VPCCW2) are here - http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=143025&page=8

From all the feedback on the forum, it appears that nvidiabl works fine for everyone. I am not a developer, but if someone could guide me, I could probably help in figuring out how to use nvidiabl code in nouveau. Thanks!
