I performed a test with linux-image-5.6.0-1007-oem from focal-proposed. The brightness control works without problem on that version. So the problem seems to be fixed on linux-oem-5.6.
Is the version going to make it to the focal release? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-oem-5.4 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871330 Title: Dell XPS 13 (7390) brightness is not adjustable with recent kernel update Status in linux-oem-5.4 package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in linux-oem-5.6 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: uname -a shows: Linux rocinante 5.4.0-1002-oem #4-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 15 10:44:42 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I believe this bug is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1862835 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1858844 This was broken then began working with kernel 5.4.0-18 however it is now broken again.
