Still not working with latest updates today (this is a regression from 8.04 where it worked). Per above I can control the brightness via /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh, so my impression is that it is related to the panel "Brightness Applet", perhaps not the gnome-panel itself.
If someone can provide with some steps to debug I can dig in a deeper. -- LCD Brightness no longer works on Sony VGN-CR120E https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/243904 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
