I just installed Slackware-12.0 on my Japanese W5A. Kernel-2.6.24.2. The patch works. Thx :)

Brightness used to work with xf86-video-intel-2.0.0. When I updated to xf86-video-intel-2.1.0 it broke. It's either min or max.

Now I use xbacklight to adjust the brightness. Works like a charm.

Volume up/down jumps a few levels at a time. Neither Mute (Fn+F4) nor changing the value of /proc/acpi/pcc/mute have any effect.
