There is no ACPI backlight control methods available on this UMPC.

lspci

It has a 915GM intel graphic. Is it possible to have in the future release of Kernel Linux same method for backlight? 
This is lspci.
Comment 5 Zhang Rui 2009-12-24 01:01:25 UTC 
No. this is done is the BIOS...
Comment 6 a3990208 2009-12-24 03:17:55 UTC 
But in Windows i can change it
Comment 7 zhenyuw 2009-12-28 06:45:07 UTC 
Please test with new 'samsung-laptop' kernel driver, with recent xf86-video-intel release, to see if backlight can work on your samsung.
Comment 8 a3990208 2009-12-28 20:37:16 UTC 
Where can i find samsung-laptop kernel driver? i use xf86-video-intel v 2.9.1 on gentoo
Comment 9 zhenyuw 2009-12-29 01:06:11 UTC 
It's not relate to xf86-video-intel. Check if gentoo kernel already has 'samsung-laptop' module (e.g modprobe samsung-laptop), if not you have to build kernel with staging driver and make sure CONFIG_SAMSUNG_LAPTOP is on.
Comment 10 a3990208 2009-12-29 04:19:44 UTC 
I checked in my .config of kernel 2.6.32, but there isn't CONFIG_SAMSUNG_LAPTOP. samsung-laptop.c miss in drivers/platform/x86/
Comment 11 zhenyuw 2009-12-29 05:09:49 UTC 
It's under drivers/staging/samsung-laptop/
Comment 12 a3990208 2009-12-29 07:52:17 UTC 
ok, i compiled kernel 2.6.33-rc2 with samsung laptop driver (on 2.6.32 this driver not exist), but backlight still not works
Comment 13 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2010-01-02 05:57:08 UTC 
The samsung-laptop driver does not support this device, sorry.

It will not work with the dri driver, a special bios-mode call needs
to be made.

Patches are gladly accepted to add support for this device to the samsung-laptop driver, but I can not create them, myself.
