Public bug reported: Power Manager Brightness Applet 2.21.1 on Hardy Current Alpha 4Power Manager Brightness Applet 2.21.1 on Hardy Alpha 4 (up-to-date) Intel 32-bit.
I can not manage my display brightness using the keyboard, screen or any other method. I do not think the display and the kernel communication? It seems that my laptop (IBM Lenovo Z60m) is able to change the brightness settings in the Bios HOWEVER once I boot into Linux this program referenced above (Brightness Applet in Gnome) does not properly talk to ACPI, HAL or anything else. >From http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337580 : "Some code needs to be written to do this - there's no ACPI method to do it, but it can be done via an SMBios call from userspace." It means that the system does not know, and cannot change, the brightness of the monitor. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: brightness display gnome hal ** Tags added: brightness display gnome hal -- cannot get panel brightness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191157 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
