Thanks. According to other machines the maximum could also be 0x1ffff. Correct? Nevertheless, to update the driver, I need the output of: $ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor $ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name
Regarding your question: No. The driver is supposed to allow to turn off backlight completely. But how many steps do you have? In theory, the range should be 0-0x1ffff and userland tools are supposed to scale to a human-friendly range. ciao, Mario -- nvidia-bl-dkms 0.16.10 Blank screen on brightness change https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599607 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 Bug description: I have a Sony Vaio VPCCW21FX (Nvidia 310M) running Lucid. After I installed nvidia-bl-dkms 0.16.10, the brightness buttons showed the brightness indicator but it didn't move. Manually writing values to /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness turn the backlight completely off (the backlight only turned back on after a suspend/resume). Then I copied sony brightness scripts from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1420341 ... after that, using the brightness buttons on the laptop turned the screen off 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
