The brightness controls are similar to toshiba, but are located in a different subdirectory. The attached patch adds the necessary adjustments. NOTE : the fujitsu controls are not part of the mainline kernel, they require a patch (http://devrandom.com/fujitsu/). However, the patch seems to cover most S and P models in the last 4 years.
Created attachment 9491 [details] [review] The above-mentioned patch This compiles but I have not run the replacement hald on the laptop, only manually tested the input/output.
1) If this is not mainline we can't/won't add this to HAL (the patch is from 2004 and not mainline atm). 2) The most FSC machines are already supported by the acpi-video module, but you can't detect currently if this really work, so we can't add this to HAL atm. 3) The ACPI video stuff should be sometime in the future available via the the /sys/class/backlight interface. If the FSC machines support this in the mainline kernel this would work out of the box. IMO we should not support this not mainline driver, but I can may take a look at the patch and if it would be possible to port this to the new backlight interface, or the author of the patch should do this.
Point me at the specs for the /sys/class/backlight iface and I'll tweak the patch.
