I have identified and fixed the cause of the "toggles backlight on or off" problem in Ubuntu Oneiric [ reference https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings- daemon/+bug/827517 ]. My backlight PPA https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/linux-kamal-mjgbacklight now supplies a fixed gnome-settings-daemon package for Oneiric. This issue only affects the gnome-settings-daemon package in Gnome3, so it is not relevant to Ubuntu Maverick or Natty. Thanks bcbc and Jorge G for reporting the problem.
Side note: I have also updated the gnome-power-manager package for Natty -- just picking up the latest baseline changes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568611 Title: Screen brightness control fails on Dell Studio 1558 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/null/+bug/568611/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
