Thanks to Erik I have manage to make the LCD backlight of my Dell laptop work. Check the bug report Bug #43572 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/43572)
Actually, you need to get the libsmbios source from Gutsy (as it requires a version >= 0.13) and to recompile the Hal to get the addon. See also Bug #92194 N.B.: this is just a work around while waiting for a solution to this bug. As it is true that Hal is not compiled with libsmbios support. But this is not the only problem preventing the LCD backlight on Dell laptop to work. -- HAL must be built with libsmbios support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94329 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
