On my 2010 (MBP 6,2) model the intel_chipset_data worked out of the box. I see now that your model is the 13'' Nvidia only MBP - I somehow assumed that a higher model number is the 17'' which is very similar to mine - sorry!
There exists a package called > nvidia_bl-dkms Did you try that too? In case nothing works, the original author (Mario Schwalbe) extracted the backlight control interface from a Bootcamp driver: > this is an Apple specific interface. to find that you'll have to > disassemble Apple's Bootcap drivers, in particular the file MacHALDriver.sys. -- mbp-nvidia-bl: adding support for MacBook Pro 7,1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596641 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. Status in Mactel Support: New Bug description: MacBook Pro 7,1 has a nvidia chipset (MCP89 / graphics: Geforce 320 M) I tried to add the following lines into mbp_nvidia_bl.c: { .callback = mbp_dmi_match, .ident = "MacBookPro 7,1", .matches = { DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Apple Inc."), DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "MacBookPro7,1"), }, .driver_data = (void *)&nvidia_chipset_data, }, At bootup, $ cat /sys/class/backlight/mbp_backlight/brightness 15 but, $ echo 3 > /sys/class/backlight/mbp_backlight/brightness does nothing on the brightness, except that $ cat /sys/class/backlight/mbp_backlight/brightness 3 If you need some command line outputs, I can provide them.
