I am experiencing this bug, both with the 2.6.31-19-generic and 2.6.31-17-generic kernels. I am, however, able to adjust the screen brightness using the F1 and F2 brightness buttons (pushing them without holding down the fn key). The problem however is that the brightness increments or decrements very, very slowly and in tiny amounts. Earlier releases had much larger increment and decrement amounts, and were much more usable. Can we please get back these old values for the brightness increment/decrement?
-- nvidia-bl-dkms 0.15.1 update breaks backlight https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516354 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. Status in Mactel Support: New Status in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since February 1st's 0.15.1 update of the nvidia-bl-dkms package, the backlight of the screen cannot be changed. This happens on my Macbook Pro 5-3 but also happens to the 5-5 model according to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8756152 , so it doesn't seem very far-fetched to say that might happen to all Macbook Pros. Downgrading nvidia-bl-dkms to version 0.15 makes the screen backlight slider "slidable" again but it has no impact on the screen's actual backlight. Using Kubuntu 9.10 64-bit on a Macbook Pro 5-3 with kernel 2.6.31-17-generic (but it does the same on the previous kernels as well). _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
