Should mention, I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64. Attaching the output of lspci/dmesg.
Fn-F5 and Fn-F6 do seem to go back and forth along a consistent set of .. brightness settings, but the set is in no way ordered by scale. cat'ing /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness gives the following information, which doesn't seem to change at all when the screen brightness is altered by way of the Fn keys: levels: 0 3 6 9 12 16 19 21 24 27 29 30 32 33 34 36 current: 21 The screen brightness does change (as does the 'current' value) when I write an integer to that file (e.g. echo 3 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness), though interestingly the brightness for 0 isn't nearly as dim as what can be attained using the Fn keys. Likewise, 36 seems to be a touch less bright than the greatest possible brightness from the Fn keys. -- hotkeys adjust brightness non-monotonically on EEEPC 1005PE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512567 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
