I think this log is made using 0.8b3 and not using 0.8b4 as the
brightness register is missing.

I made changes to nvclock recently which make a HOME directory unneeded
I think. Those changes were made for this purpose. Could you check if a
recent cvs copy works?

NVClock 0.8b4 is out now and it contains the smartdimmer app. The ubuntu
packages can be updated. Kanotix also just added smartdimmer and they
based on this one. That one could be used. I'll look for the url.

The new beta contains backlight control for all the laptops which where

There is some code in the bios which loads the smartdimmer register but
I haven't had time to fully understand it yet.

Michael what version of nvclock are you using? For some reason your bios
file is empty. If you aren't using b4 try to update to it and also try
to remove ~/.nvclock and run nvclock again to recreate it. NVClock
should be showing some bios info using -i.

Right now the info I expected is present in your bios and in the HP and
other Sony bioses I have seen. The info which is there is a line of code
which sets the smartdimmer register to '100%'. There might be more info
but I have no idea where that is. This might be enough for some basic
detection.
I have no good method of detecting which cards are supported. Right now
the detection mechanism is a crappy whitelist for some vendors and it
doesn't mean all models of a vendor are supported. The best way is to

Geforce8/9/quadro cards are the same. Further the thing you just
showed is a basic pci id check. For that again a list of capable cards
is needed. For the record there are dozens of different mobile
geforce8/9/quadro cards.

For geforce6/7 cards the detection in nvclock is quite good and it can
be relied on.

Further I'd like some additional info. Could you some people try to
run nvclock -D BEFORE the nvidia kernel module and X are loaded, so
directly after logging into a VT? I'm interested in the line which
contains 'NV_PDISPLAY_SOR0_REGS_BRIGHTNESS'. If it contains the proper

I haven't studied the packages posted here but I would recommend to
use the kanotix package as a base. The kanotix packager updated some
portions based on my input. Debian might receive new packages soon
too. I contacted Randy about it a while ago but I didn't hear anything
back from him. (

This issue is specific to various nvidia based laptops including some
sony models. It is a real issue.

There must be a bug somewhere in my bios dumping code. I'll take a
look at it. Note smartdimmer and nvclock are internally the same. Only
from the outside smartdimmer looks different.
