On my AJP M3000N I still have the problem. The brightness applet sets the brightness permanently whereas using the keys causes the brightness to change and then about 60s later to revert to the setting of the applet. When the keys are being used a brightness indicator appears on the screen. Basically there appear to be two independent brightness changing mechanisms of which the applet takes some form of precedence on a refresh timer.
On my Sony Vaio PCG-SRX51P/B the brightness applet has no effect whatsoever on the screen brightness, the keys work fine and have permanent effect. Both machines are running 7.10 Gutsy release with all updates applied. On the AJP M300N I used to have to run 855resolution package to get the 1400x1050 resolution. I am now using the Intel driver so that resolution works properly without the intervention of 855resolution (or 915resolution) -- neither package is installed on the machine. Even xrandr works as expected :-) but the brightness controls do not. -- [gutsy tribe 4] brightness keys no longer work but system automagically updates to full brightness after 60 seconds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131338 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
