I do feel this is redundant. BUT..... I attached that info you wanted. I feel that script is rather bloated so instead ran the commands.
I need xrandr. Once I do that, everything works except for the oscillation bug. This bug is filed and mentioned above. Once oscillation begins, I need to wait for it to hit a certain point before changing the brightness again. This tends to mean going to pretty much entirely non-visible first. There were some xorg updates today (I think today) that I haven't tested yet. - The script posted above by Brian Royer is not correct. ACPI does not need to be restarted. There is no need to zenity. As of this point in time, there is only one command that needs to be run to gain control over all systems that are being actively tested against. "xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native" Again, I feel this is redundant, but perhaps it will help people that skim this bug, which is getting large, looking for a quick fix or more information. ** Attachment added: "info" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18890282/info -- Unable to adjust screen brightness on recent Sony Vaio notebooks, Intel GMA adapter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173652 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
