Public bug reported: Binary package hint: hal
LCD brightness setting doesn't work currently with hal in feisty and dapper release. It doesn't work because the scripts hal-system-lcd-{get,set}-brightness- linux relies on acpi methods. But this computer doesn't support brightness setting with acpi. Some workaround are needed (like in the acpi package, see /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh). I have some scripts modifications I'll upload. ** Affects: hal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- LCD brightness setting doesn't work with Sony Vaio VGN-S5M https://launchpad.net/bugs/77739 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
