Macbook Pro Aluminum gmux backlight support pommed

On my model (Macbook Pro 5,2) and others with simliar graphics setup (two nvidia cards), on kernel 3.10 and some before, backlight support is in the kernel, and the device is at /sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight.
Pommed v1.40git does not know about this driver. If you want pommed to handle the LCD backlight, it needs to know this path.
This is a matter of a simple 4 liner patch: http://pastebin.com/sCNjtuwD
I can't find where to submit this patch upstream though. Any help?
Also, max_brightness is 16055, so modify your pommed.conf to some reasonable values:
lcd_sysfs {
# The sysfs backlight control is a generic interface provided
# by the Linux kernel for backlight control on most graphic cards.
# The brightness range can differ depending on the hardware.
# initial backlight level [12] (0 - 15, -1 to disable)
init = 14000
# step value (1 - 2)
step = 1000
# backlight level when on battery [6] (1 - 15, 0 to disable)
on_batt = 9000

I guess I'm looking for help in finding where development happens upstream.
The last commit on master here: git://git.debian.org/git/pommed/pommed.git was in 2011.
I suppose it's not actively developed? Maybe in that case, the package maintainer could include this patch?

  • Macbook pro retina keyboard backlight always on

    My new MacBook Pro Retina keyboard backlight always on under room light?
    I've to turn it off manually.
    But if under sunlight, it doesn't lit which means the ALS is working, may be just not that sensitive enough under ML.
    ML problem ?
    I saw those display set at retail is working under room light but running Lion not ML.
    Is ML really have problem ?
    Should I reverse to Lion ?

    No need to revert back to Lion.
    May be resetting SMC will help.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 do not support SATA III?

    Macbook Pro 2011 do not support SATA III?

    Yes, they do, sort of! It's funny because I was about to complain about my THIRD 2011 MacBook Pro and while SATA III works fine in the main hard drive bay, it will not let me put a second SSD into the optical drive bay for a RAID 0 solution. This affects all 15" and 17" MBP's, but strangely enough, it works just fine on the 2011 13" MBP's. GRRR! This is so infuriating.

  • Can Macbook pro 2012 with GT650M support 3d vision via bootcamp

    can Macbook pro 2012 with GT650M support 3dvision via bootcamp
    For sure GT650 is 3d vision supported, but anyone ever made test that you
    can watch 3d movie via windows under bootcamp on new macbook pro
    Thanks..

    After updating NVidia driver newer than 267.76,
    I got black screen after Windows Logo shown during reboot.
    After countless annoying tests,
    I installed the newest NVidia 285.79 driver without problem finally.
    My original prefered display configuration:
    link the primary monitor with HDMI port
    I already followed the GeForce Driver Installation Guide, step by step,
    http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=169555
    but there's still black screen after reboot.
    THEN, I TRIED TO USE mini-DISPLAY PORT INSTEAD AND REBOOT AGAIN,
    video signal was connected to my DELL 2707W(only DVI port)
    by MiniDP to HDMI adapter/HDMI-DVI cable.
    The display is NORMAL NOW !!
    Root Cause assumption:
    Maybe the driver newer than 267.76 always regard miniDP as primary signal output port,
    even if you set the HDMI port as primary.
    I think this is a serious bug, but no solution after mote than 30 driver updating.
    The following configuration worked on my Mac mini 2010 system:
    mini─miniDP to HDMI adapter─
    HDMI cable to HDMI splitter─┬HDMI-DVI cable─Dell 2707
                                                  └HDMI cable─ 3D projector
    but I found that the configuration can't play 3D video...
    So I changed the configuration to:
    Mac─miniDP to HDMI adapter─HDMI-DVI cable─Dell 2707
          └HDMI cable─ 3D projector 
    For your reference.   

  • Macbook Pro Uneven display backlight

    Hi
    I would like to know if uneven backlight on my macbook pro is covered by warranty
    it was hard to get a good picture but,
    http://the.cave.in.googlepages.com/uneven_backlight.jpg
    sometimes its even worese
    the display also flickers sometimes very lighyly (at 50hz etc.)
    also
    is there a good reason that while probing apples site
    i could not find a single support e-mail address ?
    cheers.
    Brazy
    .est

    If the screen lighting is as bad as the photo seems to demonstrate, then yes, it's definitely a problem that would be covered by warranty. The screen should never actually flicker, though, since an LCD is refreshing pixel-by-pixel at 60hz, perhaps your brightness settings keep changing? If not, then it could even be the inverter (if you're using one of the CFL (pre-Santa Rosa) models). Either way, I'd try to get over to your nearest Apple Store when you can.

  • BENQ FP241W on Retina Macbook Pro - native resolution not supported?

    Hi there,
    I have tried connecting my BENQ FP241W monitor to my new Macbook Pro with retina display via HDMI.
    The monitor appears to be displaying at only 1600x900 and looks very blurry since the native resolution of the monitor is 1920x1200. I have actually tried this with an older 2009 model macbook pro and the same thing happend, although I was using a dispaly port to HDMI adaptor and never investigated further to the reason the native resolution was not supported.
    Going back to the Retina Macbook and the BENQ FP241W. It gives the following resolution options for scaled: 1080p, 1080i and 1600x900. When I choose 1080p or 1080i it looks the same as 1600x900 i.e very blury and not even close to the sharpness that is capable of the display - true 1080p should look sharper than how it looks selected so I dont believe it is actually displaying 1080p. It also has the option for 'best for display' which I would expect it to show native resolution of 1920x1200 - unfortunately it still apears to be 1600x900.
    Can anyone help me out? Is this a driver issue or something else?
    Thanks
    Rich

    I can sort this out by just using a HDMI > DVI cable which works fine. I think there must just be an issue with the BenQ HDMI input supporting 1920x1200. Its annoying because the screen is also connected to a PC workstation by DVI so it would be good to have the HDMI for the Macbook so I can quickly switch the display by pressing a button instead of having to unplug cables...

  • Macbook Pro 2011 SATA III support

    I would like to know if the new Macbook Pro 2011 supports SATA III SSD's. I know the thunderbolt needs the Sandy Bridge to work, however I am not sure if that means that the chip will definitely support a SATA III SSD. Does anyone know ????

    Eww,
    Thank you very much or your response. I have a clarifying question. I am looking at buy a OCZ VERTEX 3 SATA III 2.5" SSD and I just want to be sure that if I spend the money on it I am going to get 100% functionality to include the 6/Gbps, minus of course the TRIM feature because from what I understand Apple locked it out. Do you know if this drive will work on the 2011 MacBook Pro.
