I just want to add that nothing works until I do 'xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native'. After that, xbacklight and function keys work to set screen brightness.
I also get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ smartdimmer -g init_nvclock() failed! As far as this error goes... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh down cat: /sys/class/backlight/sony/brightness: No such file or directory /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh: line 8: [: : integer expression expected /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh: line 15: /sys/class/backlight/sony/brightness: No such file or directory The reason is because the file has moved to /sys/class/backlight/acpi_videoX/brightness where X is either 0 or 1. However, changing this value doesn't seem to make a difference in the screen brightness. I don't know if any of this was useful to anybody else, but I hope so. -- No Screen Backlight Control; Sony Vaio with nvidia 8 series graphics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
