@Steve, I have completely reinstalled hal package (previously removed all *.fdi files) and saved 10-sony-laptop-brightness.fdi to /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/ and it does not work for me.
Here is the output: de...@defue-laptop:~$ hal-find-by-property --key info.category --string laptop_panel | xargs lshal -u udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_backlight' info.addons = {'hald-addon-generic-backlight'} (string list) info.capabilities = {'laptop_panel'} (string list) info.category = 'laptop_panel' (string) info.interfaces = {'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel'} (string list) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' (string) info.product = 'Generic Backlight Device' (string) info.subsystem = 'backlight' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_backlight' (string) laptop_panel.access_method = 'general' (string) laptop_panel.num_levels = 8 (0x8) (int) linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int) linux.subsystem = 'backlight' (string) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/sony' (string) And here is the output before copying the file (just after clean hal reinstall): de...@defue-laptop:~$ hal-find-by-property --key info.category --string laptop_panel | xargs lshal -u udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_backlight' info.addons = {'hald-addon-generic-backlight'} (string list) info.capabilities = {'laptop_panel'} (string list) info.category = 'laptop_panel' (string) info.interfaces = {'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel'} (string list) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' (string) info.product = 'Generic Backlight Device' (string) info.subsystem = 'backlight' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_backlight' (string) laptop_panel.access_method = 'sony-nvidia' (string) laptop_panel.num_levels = 86 (0x56) (int) linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int) linux.subsystem = 'backlight' (string) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/sony' (string) wierd... -- sony brighness on a geforce series older than 8 (nvclock works fine) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277589 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
