modifications to make it work correctly on my test hardware (altered the backlight write function, made it enable the legacy backlight controller interrupts on mobile hardware, sorted the interrupt function so we don't get an excessive number of vblank interrupts). This lets the backlight keys on my T61 work properly, though there's a 750msec or so delay between the request and the brightness actually changing - this sounds awfully like the hardware spinning waiting for a status flag to become ready, but as far as I can tell they're all set correctly. If anyone can figure out what's wrong here, it'd be nice to know. Some of the functions are still stubs and just tell the hardware that the request was successful. These can be filled in as kernel modesetting gets integrated. I think it's worth getting this in anyway, since it's required for backlight control to work properly on some new platforms.

DRM README file There are two main parts to this package: the DRM client library/interface (libdrm.so) and kernel/hardware-specific device modules (such as i915.ko). Compiling --------- By default, libdrm and the DRM header files will install into /usr/local/. If you want to install this DRM to replace your system copy, say: ./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/ Then, make install To build the device-specific kernel modules: cd linux-core/ make cp *.ko /lib/modules/VERSION/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ (where VERSION is your kernel version: uname -f) Or, cd bsd-core/ make copy the kernel modules to the appropriate place Tips & Trouble-shooting ----------------------- 1. You'll need kernel sources. If using Fedora Core 5, for example, you may need to install RPMs such as: kernel-smp-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm etc. 2. You may need to make a symlink from /lib/modules/VERSION/build to your kernel sources in /usr/src/kernels/VERSION (where version is `uname -r`): cd /lib/modules/VERSION ln -s /usr/src/kernels/VERSION build 3. If you've build the kernel modules but they won't load because of an error like this: $ /sbin/modprobe drm FATAL: Error inserting drm (/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.ko): Invalid module format And 'dmesg|tail' says: drm: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module Try recompiling your drm modules without the Module.symvers file. That is rm the /usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5-smp-i686/Module.symvers file (or rename it). Then do a 'make clean' before rebuilding your drm modules.
