Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
90-Add-guarded-brightness-stepping-functions.patch and 91-Using-guarded-and-scaled-stepping-when-dimming.patch are introducing this bug. When changing the brightness, the control is not costant and it is really slow. I explain better what I mean. When I am at 30% and I want to reduce till 20% I have to press 4 times, when I am at 20% and I want to reduce till 10% i have to press 5 times. That means ~15 key press to reduce the backlight from 50 till 10! Totally unusable. Something like: 60->50: 1 time 50->40: 2 times 40->30: 3 times 30->20: 4 times 20->10: 5 times 10->00: 6 times ...just to give you an idea. This is not the correct behaviour, with default gnome-power-manager the control is ~ 10% step for each key event, in ubuntu the control is choppy for this reason. Removing "90-Add-guarded-brightness-stepping-functions.patch" "91-Using-guarded-and-scaled-stepping-when-dimming.patch" FIXES the bug. I am wondering, why we have those two patches? :) ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Brightness control is slow and not costant with 90-Add-guarded-brightness-stepping-functions.patch 91-Using-guarded-and-scaled-stepping-when-dimming.patch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345318 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
