I have modified the '90-Add-guarded-brightness-stepping-functions' patch in order to get 12 levels of brightness adjustment, and changed the formulas used to calculate the next step for decreasing/increasing brightness in order to get constant steps. It seems to work good on Samsung NC10. Please

Public bug reported: In Intrepid I was used to enable the autologin feature in gdm, then add the 'gnome-screensaver-command --lock' in Startup Applications to lock the screen immediately after login. This way I was ready to work just inserting my user password. Furthermore, when I started up my

Looking at the code in 'gpm-brightness.c', it seems that xrandr is preferred over hal when both are available. I don't know why but there is certainly a good reason if it's so. -- Brightness control is slow and not costant with 90-Add-guarded-brightness-stepping-functions.patch 91-Using-guarded

No, it's manually set. It was set to 24 in the original patch, I changed it to 12 to get bigger steps. IMHO this is not a good solution, because a fixed value is not good for everyone, as you stated. However, I just modified the original patch, I don't know if there is a more generic way to set

It seems that hal support is not always available. For example, 'lshal' does not report any UDI for backlight on Samsung NC10. Apart from that, it would be a bad idea to use hal in gpm xrandr functions. Looking at the code, there are two distinct way to set brightness, xrandr and hal. -- Brigh

The issue is caused by a recent change in gnome-settings-daemon that adds a 30 sec delay for starting gnome-screensaver. This is the reason for it (directly from source code): /* * We'll start the screensaver after a delay so it doesn't * compete with other processes

I've build a new 'gst-plugins-base0.10' package which includes the (adapted) upstream patch. It's based on version '0.10.25-2ubuntu1' (not the proposed '0.10.25-2ubuntu1.1'), and it's available on my testing PPA: https://launchpad.net/~voria/+archive/archive -- Totem hangs while loading a vide
