Following the documentation of the Legacy Backlight Brightness (LBB) Register in the configuration space of some Intel PCI graphics adapters, setting the LBB register with the value 0x0 causes the backlight to be turned off, and 0xFF causes the backlight to be set to 100% intensity (http://download.intel.com/embedded/processors/Whitepaper/324567.pdf). The Acer Aspire 5734Z, however, turns the backlight off at 0xFF and sets it to maximum intensity at 0. In consequence, the screen of this systems becomes dark at an early boot stage which makes it unusable. The same inversion applies to the BLC_PWM_CTL I915 register. This problem was introduced in kernel version 2.6.38 when the PCI device of this system was first supported by the i915 KMS module. This patch adds a parameter to the i915 module to enable inversion of the brightness variable (i915.invert_brightness).

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
