Brightness control is done through graphics/intel-backlight (should work on o= ther Intel GPUs as well). Auto-brightness control works as well (using the n= ew isl driver). HDMI works in VESA mode (mirrors the internal display). It suspends but won'= t resume, probably due to video, I was never able to really figure that one o= ut. Tried an early version of 915i about half a year ago with limited succes= s, will try again at/after EuroBSDCon. There are a couple of people who helped me testing and most of them seem qui= te happy with the results (no suspend/resume being the only real caveat). - Michael > Russell >=20 >> matthias > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"=
