** Attachment removed: "acpi" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1486896/+attachment/4449322/+files/acpi -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1486896 Title: On Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E330, the screen backlight flickers badly. Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Behavior is the same on Ubuntu 14.04 -- 15.04. Steps were taken according to this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight With acpi_backlight=vendor, the flicker stops, and the brightness control doesn't work. However, echo 8 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness dims the screen. thinkpad-acpi.brightness_enable = 1 does nothing. Workaround: If no changes are made to boot options, and echo 4437 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness is done, the flicker stops and the GUI control / acpi_video0 works, but causes flicker again. Attaching the necessary files.
