which package to report a bug on brightness control to
Hi everyone, Brightness control on my Dell Latitude e6420 (Fn + up or down arrow) slows my system down significantly on an up-to-date Debian Sid installation. It does not happen on Debian Wheezy, so I am thinking this is a bug. I am using Gnome on both. However, I have absolutely no idea which package I should report this bug to. Any idea guys ? Thanks.

Re: Suspend leads to black screen without sleep [Dell Latitude E6440]
I have updated the bug report on launchpad regarding this issue. My DELL E6440 now successfully suspend and resume without a glitch on both Ubuntu LTS and Debian Jessie/Sid. Since the original report, Dell submitted a BIOS update (version A05) which coincides with the moment when suspend started working reliably. Difficult to verify since no detailed changelog is available. But since then, no more problem with suspending on both Ubuntu and Debian.

MATE 1.8: issues with sound control
Following the recent announcement of the availability of MATE 1.8 in Debian, I went ahead and installed it on my Debian unstable install, alongside GNOME 3. Performance is great and I am seriously considering switching my old workstations to it. Amongst the issues I encountered, one concerns the sound controls or sound applet which does nothing but move the filler bar, but do not raise or lower the sound. I have to use the controls within the sound preference app (Master and/or PCM) to get control over the sound. Meanwhile, the sound controls and applet work fine in GNOME 3. Anyone else facing this issue ? Any thoughts on a possible solution ? Ghis
serious system slow down when adjusting brightness on a Dell E6440 laptop
I am running Debian unstable with GNOME 3 and MATE 1.8 on a Dell Latitude E6440 laptop. In both, brightness controls (Fn + up/down) systematically put the system to a crawl. This is even more pronounced in MATE 1.8, where the energy saving settings are much more aggressive and keep switching between full and low screen brightness when the laptop is idle. Anyone suffering from a similar issue ? Ghis
Gnome 3.8 and AMD Hybrid Graphics, works in discrete mode not in integrated mode
I have a Dell Latitude E6440 equipped with Haswell processor and intel graphics, coupled with AMD hybrid graphics HD8690M. I am currently using Debian testing/sid, where most hardware is recognized. Standard installation left me with the Intel graphics driver working. I have followed the installation instructions in the Debian Wiki for the proprietary AMD drivers. I can successfully login to my GNOME 3 session with discrete graphics enabled (via aticonfig --px-dgpu). However, if I switch to integrated graphics mode (aticonfig --px-igpu), then neither GDM 3 nor (if using lightdm) GNOME 3 won't have it, granting me with the famous "Oh no something went wrong" screen and forcing me to drop to a tty. I was wondering if any other people experienced this issue and whether they found a solution to it. In case not, I'd be willing to file a bug and help in triaging, but I am not sure which package is concerned, i.e. fglrx ? gdm ? gnome-shell ? Thanks, Ghislain
Suspend leads to black screen without sleep [Dell Latitude E6440]
Another issue with my Dell Latitude E6440 with AMD hybrid graphics is suspend not working. Suspend leads to a black screen, the system does not go to sleep and seems to be still running (power LED and fan are still on). I already tried different kernel: 3.5 (Ubuntu LTS), 3.12 and 3.13 (Debian sid/experimental) without success. I was wondering if you guys experienced similar behaviour with suspend and if there are workarounds or ways to debug that. Thanks, Ghislain
Re: Re: Suspend leads to black screen without sleep [Dell Latitude E6440]
Thanks guys for your suggestions. I have tried kernel 3.12 and then the recently released 3.13 in sid without any luck. The thing is that, from time to time, suspend works (maybe 1 out of 15 attempts) for whatever reasons.
Re: Radeon HD 6630M/6650M/6750M/7670M/7690M
Hi Lina, Have you tried to switch back to the open source driver first and then re-perform the installation process for the non-free driver if need be. I would: - First undo the installation steps of the proprietary drivers in https://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary, don't reboot, - Follow the steps in https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo to get the open source driver running, then reboot, - Re-apply https://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary, then reboot. I have a laptop running with an Radeon HD8690M and it's perfectly supported in Debian Jessie/Sid with Kernel 3.13.
