This should be fixed in the upstream 3.14-rc4 kernel by these two commits: commit bd8ba20597f0cfef3ef65c3fd2aa92ab23d4c8e1 - ACPI / video: Filter the _BCL table for duplicate brightness values commit 0e9f81d3b7cd0649a3bc437391b6a0650f98f844 - ACPI / video: Add systems that should favour native backlight interface
The first one has been cc'd to the stable kernel series. A PPA of the 3.14-rc4 kernel is available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/ and instructions on how to install an uninstall it are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1227188 Title: brightness doesn't work on Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Similar to bug 11588934, I get acpi_video0 & intel_backlight, or (ideapad & intel_backlight) depending on the osi_* kernel cmd line settings. The one that is preferred / used (acpi_video0 / ideapad) do not work. Whereas intel_backlight is the one that does work. I have Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13. I have now specified: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/backlight.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" EndSection I guess a similar blacklist as was applied for HP should be applied in upstream kernel for Yoga?
