Yes the problem still exists BUT: When i boot the laptop on battery, gnome power management dimming works, which means i get only half the brightness when i log into gnome. When i plug in the cord, nothing changes. SO dimming back to full does not work. The gnome brightness setting applet does *not* work tho.
When i boot the laptop on AC power, gnome power management dimming does NOT work, when i unplug the cord, i see gnome trying to set the dimming but nothing happens, applet doesnt work either. I can set the brightness by hand tho, when i do "echo 3 > "/sys/class/backlight/sony/brightness" This is all with gutsy -generic kernel. If you need further information, i am more than willing to help. -- brightness with sony laptop and generic kernel does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147077 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
