This doesn't work right for me. x86_64 allmodconfig enables
CONFIG_FB_ATY_BACKLIGHT but fails to enable FB_BACKLIGHT so things won't
build.
drivers/video/aty/atyfb_base.c: In function 'aty_bl_get_level_brightness':
drivers/video/aty/atyfb_base.c:2130: error: 'struct fb_info' has no member
named 'bl_curve'
I'm not sure how to fix it, either. Are things like
CONFIG_FB_ATY_BACKLIGHT _really_ supposed to be pmac-only?
menuconfig says:
Symbol: FB_BACKLIGHT [=FB_BACKLIGHT]
Selected by: PMAC_BACKLIGHT && (PPC || MAC) && ADB_PMU && FB=y &&
(BROKEN || !PPC64)
Surely CONFIG_FB_ATY_BACKLIGHT should depend upon FB_BACKLIGHT?
How come I have CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE and things like that but
CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT=n?
And a `make oldconfig' says
drivers/macintosh/Kconfig:126:warning: 'select' used by config symbol
'PMAC_BACKLIGHT' refer to undefined symbol 'FB_BACKLIGHT'
Here's what allmodconfig gave:
akpm2:/usr/src/25> grep BACKL .config
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_DEVICE=y
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_BACKLIGHT=y
CONFIG_FB_RIVA_BACKLIGHT=y
CONFIG_FB_RADEON_BACKLIGHT=y
CONFIG_FB_ATY128_BACKLIGHT=y
CONFIG_FB_ATY_BACKLIGHT=y
Anyway, it seems all screwed up - I'll drop the patch.
