I'm running 2.6.30 (44b7532b8b464f606053562400719c9c21276037) on a X200 and
writing on /proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD0/brightness works while on battery and AC.
Using /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 also works.
Nico, can you test with a newer version?
Comment 11 Gordon Jin 2009-09-17 07:53:43 UTC
Can the reporter confirm this still exist in 2.6.30 or 31?
