Brightness key are working and the system brightness slider changes, but no real brightness change happens. Brightness is not changing even by using the system brightness slider. This was lastly verified with Ubuntu 20.04 and kernel 5.4.0-54-generic. This issue is temporary solved by the following action - Compiling amdgpu.ko module from a 5.7.0+ kernel (I used 5.9.8 kernel) and manually substituting to 5.4.0 module - Installing a new BIOS update but after a shutdown and power on of the PC (if you restart without the PC powering off before turning on again this doesn't happen) the problem comes back again. The only permanent solution I found is to compile a 5.7.0+ kernel (I am using 5.9.8 kernel right now: stefano@stefano-IdeaPad-5-15ARE05:~$ uname -a Linux stefano-IdeaPad-5-15ARE05 5.9.8 #1 SMP Mon Nov 16 19:58:12 CET 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux and I can always use brightness normally. Please implement new kernel correction for this issue into Ubuntu kernel please! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829641 Title: brightness keys on laptop don't dim the backlight To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxqt/+bug/1829641/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
