Title:
1002:983d [Acer Aspire V5-122P] Unable to adjust screen brightness
using fglrx driver
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I am using an Acer V5-122P which uses the AMD Radeon 8250 graphics
card. I am unable to adjust the backlight brightness, except that on
battery if I try to toggle the brightness using the hotkeys up and
down repeatedly, I am able to adjust the backlight brightness to the
lowest setting. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and fglrx, but the problem
persists when using the open source xorg-radeon/ati driver. I have
been experiencing this problem with all kernels and versions of Ubuntu
since 12.04 with no changes as I've upgraded.
I have entries in /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/ for brightness,
max_brightness, actual_brightness, bl_power, type, device, subsystem,
power, and uevent.. Directly echoing values into brightness does not
make any changes to the screen brightness.
Happy to answer any other questions or try any workarounds.
Thanks,
Will
