This feature allows software control of the LCD brightness on ThinkPad

models which don't have a hardware brightness slider.



It has some limitations: the LCD backlight cannot be actually turned on or off

by this interface, and in many ThinkPad models, the "dim while on battery"

functionality will be enabled by the BIOS when this interface is used, and

cannot be controlled.



The backlight control has eight levels, ranging from 0 to 7.  Some of the

levels may not be distinct.



There are two interfaces to the firmware for brightness control, EC and CMOS.

To select which one should be used, use the brightness_mode module parameter:

brightness_mode=1 selects EC mode, brightness_mode=2 selects CMOS mode,

brightness_mode=3 selects both EC and CMOS.  The driver tries to autodetect

which interface to use.

On IBM (and some of the earlier Lenovo) ThinkPads, the backlight control

has eight brightness levels, ranging from 0 to 7.  Some of the levels

may not be distinct.  Later Lenovo models that implement the ACPI

display backlight brightness control methods have 16 levels, ranging

from 0 to 15.



There are two interfaces to the firmware for direct brightness control,

EC and CMOS.  To select which one should be used, use the

brightness_mode module parameter: brightness_mode=1 selects EC mode,

brightness_mode=2 selects CMOS mode, brightness_mode=3 selects both EC

and CMOS.  The driver tries to autodetect which interface to use.



When display backlight brightness controls are available through the

standard ACPI interface, it is best to use it instead of this direct

ThinkPad-specific interface.  The driver will disable its native

backlight brightness control interface if it detects that the standard

ACPI interface is available in the ThinkPad.



The brightness_enable module parameter can be used to control whether

the LCD brightness control feature will be enabled when available.

brightness_enable=0 forces it to be disabled.  brightness_enable=1

forces it to be enabled when available, even if the standard ACPI

interface is also available.
