@Ombako- Thanks for the feedback. Regarding the minimum selectable backlight brightness value... One of the features of the patched gnome-power-manager in the PPA is that it chooses to limit the minimum brightness value to 5% of the maximum value for intel_backlight; it specifically doesn't set the brightness value all the way down to 0. The reason is that setting brightness to 0 for intel_backlight results in the backlight being switched completely off (on my Intel GPU systems at least), but the "standard" behavior for the brightness control keys is that the lowest selectable value should be very dim but not completely off.
Ombako, when you "echo 0 | sudo tee brightness" does your backlight switch off completely like mine does? If not (i.e. if your 0 value actually results in very dim but not off) then I'll need to rethink my assumptions about the minimum value situation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for NULL Project. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568611 Title: Screen brightness control fails on Dell Studio 1558 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : registry@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
