From bae5336f0aaedffa115dab9cb3d8a4e4aed3a26a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Azael Avalos Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2015 20:32:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] toshiba_acpi: Fix blank screen at boot if transflective backlight is supported If transflective backlight is supported and the brightness is zero (lowest brightness level), the set_lcd_brightness function will activate the transflective backlight, making the LCD appear to be turned off. This patch fixes the issue by incrementing the brightness level, and by doing so, avoiding the activation of the tranflective backlight.
