Ok, we know that pommed works. addon-macbook-backlight in hal doesn't work. Thats strange, because pommed code and hal code are basically the same for adjusting the Macbook brightness. The introduction of PolicyKit/ConsoleKit broke that part of code in hal.
I've run hal with more debug information (see attached patch) and got: [E] addon-macbook-backlight.c:145: failed to mmap: errno: 'Success' ** ERROR **: failed to gain access to the video card aborting... I have no idea why this mmap fails. To those who have a second or higher generation Macbook: Do you run x86_64? Maybe this just doesn't work on 32bit. ** Attachment added: "more debug info" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13588668/97_debug_brightness.patch -- MacBook brightness adjustment does not work in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206921 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
