From 3cadce7d33e263ec7a6a83c00c11144930258b22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Thomas=20B=C3=A4chler?= Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 23:41:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] backlight: do nothing if max_brightness is 0 On virtually any newer Asus mainboard, the eeepc-wmi driver is loaded. It exposes a backlight device despite the lack of any physical backlight devices. This fake backlight device has max_brightness set to 0. Since the introduction of the clamp_brightness function, systemd-backlight tries to write '1' to brightness and fails. This patch changes systemd-backlight to exit gracefully when max_brightness is 0 before performing any action. This affects both the load and save actions. --- src/backlight/backlight.c | 44 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- 1 file changed, 30 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git src/backlight/backlight.c src/backlight/backlight.c index abf8bcf..ce0385b 100644 --- src/backlight/backlight.c +++ src/backlight/backlight.c @@ -192,30 +192,37 @@ static bool validate_device(struct udev *udev, struct udev_device *device) { return true; } -/* Some systems turn the backlight all the way off at the lowest levels. - * clamp_brightness clamps the saved brightness to at least 1 or 5% of - * max_brightness.
