Only a small fraction of the nvidia based laptops works using this method. I think that less than 50% of the laptops use this method likely even less lets say 25% or so. For instance no Dell, Lenovo and Acer laptops have been reported to use this method. Further the HP models which use it upto now are some business orientated models and I doubt the the normal consumer line uses this method. On a lot of nvidia laptops the buttons actually work fine by default. For that reason I want a whitelist for or else a good detection method. I might have found something in the video bios but I don't have time to implement all the code for it. What I saw in the nouveau bios code is that the lvds table contains some pwm fields which are likely meant for smartdimmer.
