This problem can be fixed in Thinkpads by doing the following. I am using an IBM T40 with Gusty by the way.
1. In the file '/etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.modprobe' change 'options thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff8f experimental=1' to 'options thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff experimental=1 fan_control=1' 2. In the file '/etc/modules' add this line 'thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff experimental=1 fan_control=1' After these changes, the brightness applet should work, there is also a display on the screen whenever the brightness level is changed, and you should also be able to see the brightness sliders in gnome-power-manager that works. -- [Gutsy]Brightness applet not working in Gutsy (worked in Feisty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134756 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
