2.6.27-11 fixed about 90% of the problem for me on Intrepid. (Dell Inspiron 9400; Vendor Str="Dell Inc.". g-p-m 2.24.0-0ubuntu8.2; system fully up-to-date)
The problem now is: The OSD is displayed but progress bar increment/decrement is in small steps (min brightness at 50% mark). If the progress bar is brought down to 0% mark, brightness doesn't change there after at all (At this point progress bar will move in larger steps though). Brightness works again after killing g-p-m and starting again. Looks like the kernel bug is fixed but there's still a g-p-m bug. Should I update https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power- manager/+bug/304187, report a new bug or just continue here? -- X never sees brightness key release events on Dell laptops https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261721 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
