Martin, I'm not sure to have understood everything : You said "hal support for smartdimmer isn't going away anytime soon", but for me hal never manage to get my backlight to work, In one bug report in LP, I know a change has been made for nvidia user, to use smartdimmer, but this is not working for user that do not have laptop_panel in lshal.. like me That's why I opened that bug report : https://bugs.launchpad.net/hal/+bug/345531
If hal would be fixed, it would mean that everything could be fine under gnome and kde ? How fast could it be to make hal work without laptop_panel ? I've already opened a bug for xbacklight... (and still nothing from kernel team) -- no backlight support for laptop (hal depreciation regression) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385723 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
