Title:
Toshiba screen brightness fails to function after waking from standby
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Bought a new laptop (Toshiba Portege R835-P70) and installed xubuntu
11.04. Everything works fine and is up to date (including screen
brightness controls) except when it wakes from standby. At that time,
the brightness controls cease to function. Syslog and kern.log both
report the same error. I've tried to "cat "brightness:4" >
/proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd", as su, but it refuses to lower or raise the
brightness. Video adapter is an Intel generic. Again, it works
perfectly fine after a fresh boot, but on waking from standby, the
screen brightness cannot be changed. I suspect that resuming from
standby also causes other malfunctions, but I haven't been able to
confirm it yet.
Based on other, similar, problems regarding the newer Toshiba laptops,
it seems that something in the ACPI or toshiba_acpi is buggy.
Unloading and reloading the toshiba_acpi module does not return
functionality. I can provide more information if needed.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Put laptop into standby, then wake.
2. Attempt to change brightness settings.
log of attempting to change brighness after wake:
