Sorry it took me so long, I've been rather busy lately. I did get to compile the latest CVS, and while it works fine if I run it as myself from the commandline, hald fails to run it (for my brightness keys) with the following error: [28671]: 14:45:47.158 [D] addon-acpi.c:195: event is 'video C160 00000086 00000000 ' 14:45:47.159 [I] hald_dbus.c:5127: OK for method 'GetBrightness' with signature '' on interface 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel' for UDI '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_backlight' and execpath 'hal-system-lcd-get-brightness' 14:45:47.159 [I] hald_dbus.c:4018: no need to enqueue 14:45:47.550 [I] hald_dbus.c:4042: No more methods in queue 14:45:47.550 [I] hald_dbus.c:4105: failed with 'Error!'

While hald does claim to be running as root, I don't know what privileges it runs the scripts with. If I put the old smartdimmer 0.8b4 (without the detection logic), my brightness keys work fine. -- Bem Jones-Bey (b...@jones-bey.org) -- No Screen Backlight Control; Notebooks (Vaio, Macbook, HP/Compaq, Samsung, Zepto et al.) with Nvidia Geforce8/Geforce9/Quadro series graphics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95444 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
