If I run hald first, it get the vendor and product string... sudo hald
lshal | grep system.hardware.vendor system.hardware.vendor = 'Hewlett-Packard' (string) lshal | grep system.hardware.product system.hardware.product = 'HP EliteBook 6930p' (string) But how should changing a HAL related file make any difference, if HAL doesn't seem to run in the first place? -- Cannot adjust brightness in Lucid Lynx https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555122 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
