I've done an ugly patch against gnome-power-manager that check via sysfs if the system is an MSI Wind U100 (check that /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_vendor starts by "MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD" and that /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_name starts by "U-100") and then ignore brightness management key press as suggested in comment #80.
After installing the corresponding patched gnome-power-manager and rebooting I do not see the brightness flicker, so it seems to work. ** Attachment added: "gnome-power-manager-msi-wind-u100-workaround.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36642838/gnome-power-manager-msi-wind-u100-workaround.patch -- brightness is broken on MSI WIND U100 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/415023 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
