I'm running 2.6.24-21 (hardy heron and gnome) and I have a lot of trouble with the brightness on my Lenovo X61 T.
The most annoying is that each time the screen saver is activated I have to manually increase the brightness. If I do e.g. xset dpms force off and after that the screen light is half. I often turn the screensaver off to avoid this (the dim option is disabled in gnome power settings). It is also very annoying with many video players. As soon as I'm playing a video with e.g. vlc the backlight goes down to half. I have had the same problem with mplayer, but that seem to be resolved. xine is OK but gxine changes to half bright when going to full screen. Further on I have no idea how to change the brightness with software, like having a cron script forcing the brightness up every 10 seconds... Those /sys/class/backlight/ and /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/ have no effect whatsoever. If I change the backlight, those doesn't change. If I try to write to them, the backlight doesn't change. This is annoying. I wish there an option somewhere, to set the backlight level to THIS level, and don't let any software touch it. -- Remaining brightness issue on Thinkpad T61 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211687 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
