My original report was mistaken. Even with the latest linux image (linux-image-2.6.22-11-generic 2.6.22-11.33) I can change the LCD brigthness using the gnome applet only when I boot using AC power. If I start the computer and run on batteries, I cannot change the brightness. In the kernel log there is a statement about the "hal acpi add-on" having crashed. I can change the brightness by echoing a value in /proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD0/brightness.
Note that even with the current kernel (2.6.22-11.33), there are still two "VID" entries in /proc/acpi/video. Also, changing the the current brightness using the applet is not reflected in the /proc entry. -- 2.6.22-11-generic has two entries in /proc/acpi/video/ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138452 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
