Hi, guys and girls! I have a strange trouble with ddccontrol that I cannot identify and solve for about a month, so I hope you'll be able to help me.
So, I'm using LMDE system (http://linuxmint.com/start/debian/). Initially the kernel was 3.2.32, and ddccontrol worked perfectly with my Philips 232E2SB. I was able to change monitor brightness through ddccontrol commands and I was really happy :) Then I upgraded my system to Update Pack 7, and the new kernel became of version 3.10.5. On new kernel ddccontrol doesn't work anymore, but it still works on the old one (so this isn't software issue). I have checked kernel configs - for the old kernel and for the new one. Both configs are identical at i2c sections. I've tried to use old (3.2.32's one) config with the new kernel, but there was no success. To be absolutely sure that the problem isn't in the this specific kernel version (3.10.5), I've downloaded the latest one (3.11.3) from kernel.org and tried to use old config on this new kernel, but the issue is still reproducing... It would be great if you can give me right direction on this issue, 'cause I don't know what to do now... I really need new kernel and ability to use ddccontrol. P.S. Additional info: ---------------------------- The output of 'i2cdetect -l' on the old kernel (3.2.32): http://pastebin.com/SqDPcwS9 The same on the new one (3.10.5): http://pastebin.com/YCTmX90m The output of 'ddccontrol -p' on the old kernel (3.2.32): http://pastebin.com/QL0fAZVC The same on the new one (3.10.5): http://pastebin.com/vZ4bALmt And dmesg outputs for both 3.2.32 and 3.10.5 kernels: - 3.2.32: http://pastebin.com/7ijujvkA - 3.10.5: http://pastebin.com/t1wdKrAd I really need someone's help with ddccontrol. It would be great if you or someone else who do you know can help me :) Thank you in advance!
