Hello,
I purchased a NF310 to do software development on the road. So far I am very happy with it. As I am familiar with Mandriva I installed powerpack 2010.1 on the NF310. All is working fine (speakers, microphone, camera, wifi, lan, usb etc) except backlight control. I read on this site that you solved this problem for Ubuntu. Can you assis me to do it for Mandriva as well as this is my preferred distribution.
Some hardware info I retrieved:

My /sys/class/backlight/ directory is empty.
I would be happy with a console command or tool to set the backlight level (or GUI or keys).
Thanks.
