help with backlight control and memory

[Renato Aguiar]

Hi Adrian,

No, I switched back to stable branch some months ago. I'm currently
using 10.1-RC2. I've tried to test using snapshot install image, but my
screen goes blank when I try to load i915kms without running Xorg.

Is the xbacklight tool working for you on X230 as well?

Thanks,
