[Bug 1516370] Re: Vendor backlight on Lenovo Z580 having random hotkeys issues
BTW: The "bold guess in the title", won't make sense now, as the title
was originally saying that I thought a register was being written
incorrectly, until I realised that the backlight does work correctly and
it seems to be hotkeys related.
If the implementation is idea_laptop.c then I'm taking a guess that this
will also be a problem with more recent kernels. My first task, I guess
is to boot 15.10 from a stick and see what I get with vendor.

Title:
Vendor backlight on Lenovo Z580 having random hotkeys issues
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've taken a bold guess in the title of this bug.
While investigating why on 14.04 LTS, I have working backlight on the
latest 3.13 kernel, but not on the 3.16, I tried
acpi_backlight=vendor.
With default boot parameters, I just get
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/, and the backlight works
correctly on 3.13, but does not change the brightness on 3.16 (the OSD
does show that the hotkeys are trying to change the brightness).
With acpi_backlight=vendor, I get both intel and /lenovo/.
The key point for this bug report is what happens with the lenovo one:
The hotkeys work and make the backlight change, but not consistently.
Repeatedly using the hotkey to increase the brightness causes the
level to increase, but then occasionally reset to zero (including
resetting as shown in the OSD - i.e. the OSD is always showing the
level that the backlight actually is).
Occasionally the OSD shows the "enable touchpad" icon when pressing
the increase brightness hotkey repeatedly. The same action also
causes the wifi to enable/disable randomly.
If I press the hotkey with pauses in between, things behave normally.
