Yes, there is no difference between the hotkeys and the brightness applet. That's why I thought it's probly not a gnome-panel issue. OK, here's the experiment, start out with dark screen (lowest brightness) and I keep going up in brightness:
BACKLIGHT: 1 (0x00000001) range: (0,7) now go up by one hotkey BACKLIGHT: 4 (0x00000004) range: (0,7) go up by one hotkey BACKLIGHT: 5 (0x00000005) range: (0,7) go up by one hotkey BACKLIGHT: 6 (0x00000006) range: (0,7) go up by one hotkey BACKLIGHT: 7 (0x00000007) range: (0,7) go up by one hotkey BACKLIGHT: 0 (0x00000000) range: (0,7) max! now go up once more BACKLIGHT: 7 (0x00000007) range: (0,7) go up again BACKLIGHT: 2 (0x00000002) range: (0,7) goes down to 2! go up again BACKLIGHT: 0 (0x00000000) range: (0,7) back to max! now go up again BACKLIGHT: 0 (0x00000000) range: (0,7) and stays there... BACKLIGHT: 0 (0x00000000) range: (0,7) even if I keep going up, now it's always BACKLIGHT: 0 (0x00000000) range: (0,7) Note that this problem only occurs if I am at the min and go up to max then it bounces back to 2 and only then stays at the top. There is no such malfunction if I'm at the top and go to the min. I have a strong feeling that this behavior is related to the flashes. -- [i965] Jaunty: random screen flashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356510 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
