Sorry for the delay in reporting back. I consistently read one less back, except for 0 and 100. (This could easily be a BIOS bug) It also looks like the "no-op" behaviour I reported previously have gone away with my latest kernel update. But I see a new behaviour, but this may be intentional: When it comes out of screen-blanking, it goes to 100 (and reports 100). Also happens when an external monitor is connected, which is a bit annoying... -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
