OK, two small fixes to make this work. ** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: hal + 1) The Linux module mbp_nvidia_bl needs to be autoloaded to provide the + backlight device for the NVidia card in 3.1 and 4.1. The fix for this is + detailed here, and this should be carried by us as it currently does not + work. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/16/284 - Was asked to make a new report when - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/206921 was closed but - my issue wasn't fixed. + Workaround: load the module by other means, either on-demand with + modprobe or by adding the line to /etc/modules - From HAL debug output when starting up: - [14434]: 14:13:54.913 [D] addon-macbookpro-backlight.c:535: Failed to detect ATI X1600, aborting... + 2) G-P-M gets confused by the phoney MacBook Laptop Panel HAL device + (that is actually dead since the addon providing its services doesn't + work for NVidia). Upstream HAL received this fix to only spawn this for + the relevant models. + http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal.git;a=commitdiff;h=95bd4f1bf9a62f1551461841d64f6f1cdea6a92e - My card is an NVidia... - - On pressing a brightness-up or -down button: - - 14:14:15.824 [D] hald_dbus.c:3153: - udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_5ac_21b_noserial_if0_logicaldev_input - - From gnome-power-manager --verbose --debug power: - - [hal_device_condition_cb] gpm-button.c:391 (14:19:23): condition=ButtonPressed, details=brightness-up - [emit_button_pressed] gpm-button.c:335 (14:19:23): emitting button-pressed : brightness-up - [button_pressed_cb] gpm-manager.c:996 (14:19:23): Button press event type=brightness-up - [button_pressed_cb] gpm-srv-screensaver.c:167 (14:19:23): Button press event type=brightness-up - [button_pressed_cb] gpm-backlight.c:561 (14:19:23): Button press event type=brightness-up - [gpm_brightness_lcd_get_hw] gpm-brightness-lcd.c:108 (14:19:23): ERROR: Method "GetBrightness" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel" doesn't exist - - *** WARNING *** - [gpm_brightness_lcd_get_hw] gpm-brightness-lcd.c:113 (14:19:23): GetBrightness failed! - [gpm_brightness_lcd_set_hw] gpm-brightness-lcd.c:155 (14:19:23): Setting 11 of 228 - [gpm_brightness_lcd_set_hw] gpm-brightness-lcd.c:165 (14:19:23): ERROR: Method "SetBrightness" with signature "i" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel" doesn't exist - - *** WARNING *** - [gpm_brightness_lcd_set_hw] gpm-brightness-lcd.c:170 (14:19:23): SetBrightness failed! - [gpm_brightness_lcd_up] gpm-brightness-lcd.c:362 (14:19:23): emitting brightness-changed (0) - [brightness_changed_cb] gpm-backlight.c:736 (14:19:23): Need to display backlight feedback value 0 - [gpm_feedback_display_value] gpm-feedback-widget.c:144 (14:19:23): Displaying 0.000000 on feedback widget - [gpm_refcount_add] gpm-refcount.c:100 (14:19:23): refcount now: 1 - [gpm_refcount_add] gpm-refcount.c:101 (14:19:23): non zero, so sending REFCOUNT_ADDED - [brightness_changed_cb] gpm-backlight.c:740 (14:19:23): emitting brightness-changed : 0 - [button_pressed_cb] gpm-srv-brightness-kbd.c:139 (14:19:23): Button press event type=brightness-up - [button_pressed_cb] gpm-info.c:698 (14:19:23): Button press event type=brightness-up - [gpm_refcount_auto_decrement] gpm-refcount.c:74 (14:19:25): zero, so sending REFCOUNT_ZERO - [gpm_feedback_close_window] gpm-feedback-widget.c:134 (14:19:25): Closing feedback widget - - ProblemType: Bug - Architecture: amd64 - Date: Mon May 5 14:22:20 2008 - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 - NonfreeKernelModules: ath_hal nvidia - Package: hal 0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu8 - PackageArchitecture: amd64 - ProcEnviron: - PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games - LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: hal - Uname: Linux 2.6.24-17-generic x86_64 + Workaround: comment out the <spawn> element for the laptop panel in the + file. -- Backlight control does not work on MacBook Pro 3.1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
