Hi, I am the new de-facto maintainer of the "omnibook" kernel module I confirm that the number of brightness levels can the 8 or 11 depending on the laptop model. Old (before august 2006) versions of the module always assumed it was 11. This issue is fixed in svn as max level is: -printed in /proc/omnibook/lcd (ex: 'LCD brightness: 5 (max value: 7)' ) -exported to the backlight class device interface for access via sysfs HAL needs either to use the sysfs interface or to take into account the max level exported in the /proc file. However due to lack of hardware documentation I still need to know what is the actual max brightness level for each supported laptop models. Anybody who hit this bug should contact me so I can update the hardware database of the module. Thanks.
