           Summary: radeonfb backlight config mismatch
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.25.4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: P1
         Component: Console/Framebuffers
        AssignedTo: jsimmons at infradead.org
        ReportedBy: gokdenizk at gmail.com


Distribution: Gentoo 
Hardware Environment: ATI Technologies Inc RS300M AGP [Radeon Mobility 9100IGP]

Problem Description:

In the radeon framebuffer driver, drivers/video/aty/radeon_base.c 
CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT is used to enable/disable backlight support. But in the
config file generated by 'menuconfig', CONFIG_FB_RADEON_BACKLIGHT is used for
this purpose, PMAC is for Macintosh. This mismatch prevents compilation of
radeonfb without backlight support.

The exact lines from Linux Torvalds' git tree as of now
drivers/video/aty/radeon_base.c:
279 #ifdef CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT
280 static int backlight = 1;
281 #else
282 static int backlight = 0;
283 #endif

Should be
279 #ifdef CONFIG_FB_RADEON_BACKLIGHT

I tested a kernel build with this change applied.
