  1. Bug#407671: Why was CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT [re-]disabled in 2.6.23-1 ?

    Hi, I just installed linux-image-2.6.23-1-powerpc and rebooted. After
    that, I could no longer [use Fn-F1/Fn-F2 to] change the display
    brightness. Grepping for CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT shows:

    ,----[ grep CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT /boot/config-2.6.2* | ]
    | /boot/config-2.6.22-3-powerpc:CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT=y
    | /boot/config-2.6.22-3-powerpc:CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT_LEGACY=y
    | /boot/config-2.6.23-1-powerpc:# CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT is not set
    `----

    Unless I missed something, [at least] CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT should
    have been enabled. Why isn't it?

    uups
    irc it was disabled due to ppc build troubles in the 2.6.23-rcX series.
    and forgotten to be reenabled, thanks for the report,
    will take care.

    happened in reorg of the ppc variables.
    we have anyway to upload newer linux image before pushing to testing
    so this will be solved also by then.

    tomorrows sid builds should have it back, fetch it at the usual
    sid buildserver snapshot place
