On /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-sony-laptop-panel- mgmt-policy.fdi, there are a number, for Vaio is 20, with my conversion $value/5 value is 100, 100/5=20, also the number for the conversion must be modified.
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.hardware.product" string="VGN-FZ38M"> <merge key="laptop_panel.num_levels" type="int">20</merge> <merge key="laptop_panel.access_method" type="string">sony-nvidia</merge> </match> If you change: in set brightness : "$(( $value * 5 + 15 ))" in get brightness : value=$(( ${value//%/ } /5 -3 )) to in set brightness : "$(( $value * 5 + 10 ))" in get brightness : value=$(( ${value//%/ } / 5 - 2 )) You also can go over to 20% and, brightness increase/decrease 10% Value is original brightness, it you /5 you pass 100% to 20, if you do -2, you are decreasing -10% in real scale. Because the nvclock are limited to 15%, we only can decrease up to 20% with this. If you see all my comments, you can read that I change it in my most newests comments for this reason :P For the moment, my laptop, renato reves laptop and Kasper Meerts laptop, are working "correctly". We only need found a better formulation for change the brightness. -- 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
