Ok i've installed all these packages and the brightness functionality seems to behave much better. however, the most annoying bug persists, which is after suspend the screen comes back in the lowest possible brightness setting and i cannot adjust the brightness.
Frans, perhaps you were never experiencing the issue with suspend? or perhaps you did an additional step? anyway thanks for the (partial) fix!!! btw i'm on a thinkpad x40 kur...@kurtjx-laptop:~$ uname -a Linux kurtjx-laptop 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 12:21 PM, Frans <frans0...@free.fr> wrote: > You have to download and install the package manually. > I installed in the order: > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-headers-2.6.24-22 > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-image-2.6.24-22-generic > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-22-generic > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-22-generic > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-22-generic > > I works perfectly for me !! > I hope it will help you. > > Frans > > -- > Brightness issue with Ibex 8.10 on IBM X40 Laptop > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290545 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in "gnome-power-manager" source package in Ubuntu: New > > Bug description: > A very annoying brightness bug in 8.10 beta release.
