Ok, the LCD backlight control does work with the Lucid alpha 3 live CD. It works great -- the brightness range of the indicator bar on screen matches the apparent range of backlight brightness (before, when it was working on Karmic, the ranges were out of sync).
A little off topic, but this was my first test with Lucid, and I did have some other issues on the Lucid live CD, though. I tried to install the nvidia-current driver so I could see if it was working, but I couldn't get it to load. I did install the dkms package but I couldn't load the kernel module since the noveau module was installed. I tried to log out to a text login screen by logging out to the GDM screen and switching to a text VT to restart GDM, but I could not switch to another VT. From the GDM screen, pressing Fn-Control-Alt-F1 caused only my mouse cursor to disappear, but it did not switch from the graphical screen. I pressed Fn-Control-Alt-F7 and my cursor reappeared. I logged back in as ubuntu and *wow* my desktop reappeared instantly. gnome- screensaver crashed when I pressed a key to return to the desktop from the blank screen after inactivity. -- Backlight control does not work on MacBook Pro 5.1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226894 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
